Shut not, shut not sweet brest to see me all of fire, Thy snow inflames these flames of my desire, Thy snow ni'll hurt me This cold wil coole me Take the chast fire to that pure virgin snow. Thou giust more blisse thā mortall harts may know, Let one griefe harme vs, and one ioy fill vs, let one loue warme vs, & one deth kill vs, and one death kill vs.

Nor thy fire wil harm me and this heate will warm me, being now thus warmd ile neuer seeke other fire. more blisse I take then Angels can desire. Let one griefe harme vs and one ioy fill vs, let one loue warm vs & one death kill vs. & one death kill vs.
