TO HIS DIVINE ARC TO A her devout Arctophilos.
Because
I count a promise debt (my Dear)
Especially vnto a speciall friend,
This promis'd pledge to your sweet self I send
A gloomy glasse of your perfections cleer:
Especially vnto a speciall friend,
This promis'd pledge to your sweet self I send
A gloomy glasse of your perfections cleer:
A pour traiture resembling nothing neer
Your heavenly features, that in worth extend
Beyond the reach of my poor rymes Commend,
As in this plot I make to plain appear.
Your heavenly features, that in worth extend
Beyond the reach of my poor rymes Commend,
As in this plot I make to plain appear.
Yet since for you amid my dumps I drew-it,
And since your self have since desir'd to see-it;
VVith milde aspect vouchsafe (bright-star) to view-it.
To doom whereof in your discretion bee-it:
But deem withall, that in this bitter story
I grave my griefs, and not your beauties glory.
And since your self have since desir'd to see-it;
VVith milde aspect vouchsafe (bright-star) to view-it.
To doom whereof in your discretion bee-it:
But deem withall, that in this bitter story
I grave my griefs, and not your beauties glory.
Vincenti gloria Victi.
