O sweete flower
1
O sweete flower too quicklie fading,Like a Winter sunshine day:
Poore pilgrim tir'd in the midway,
Like the Earth it selfe halfe shading.
So thy picture shewes to mee,
But onely the one halfe of thee.
2
O deare Ioy too swiftly flyingFrom thy loues enchanted eyes:
Proud glorie spread through the vast skies,
Earth of more then earth enuying
O how wondrous hadst thou been,
Had but the world thy whole life seene.
