To a Ladies Chambermaid.
You are your Ladies Cabinet and mayAt midnight let in sharp Ey'd waking day,
And bring those blushing acts of ours to light,
That being seen shew blacker then the night.
A Chambermaide doth serve in these two places,
Sometimes a watch, Sometimes she a Iewell case is:
One while a Watch to see none gaze upon her,
And then a Case wherein she locks her honour.
O gentle Watch in thy most noble Case
Know you a Iewell keep, then be not base.
