A Suitor to his Mistresse.
Astrea that left Earth to Heaven to flee,Is now come back and Fair enshrin'd in thee,
Not to return, but stay and on me shine,
Inrich me thus, and all the world is mine:
Regard a mortal whose faint soul aspires,
Enlightned by the Beams celestiall fire;
(Compel'd to be thy Convert) but to look
His Lesson o're in thy sweet-Beauties Book:
Oh't be my Heaven on Earth, may I obtain
Under thy Scepter this my highest aim,
The Golden Ball will prove lead to my gain.
