Love above Beauty.
Lovely
Chloris though thine eyes
far out shine the jewels of the skies;
that grace which all admire in thee,
no nor the beauties of thy brest,
which far out-blaze the rest,
might e're compared be
to my fidelity.
far out shine the jewels of the skies;
that grace which all admire in thee,
no nor the beauties of thy brest,
which far out-blaze the rest,
might e're compared be
to my fidelity.
Those alluring smiles that place
An eternall April on thy face;
Such as no Sun did ever see,
No, nor the Treasures of thy brest,
Which far out-blaze the rest,
Might e're compared be
To my Fidelitie.
