On the D. Y.

You half compleated Ladyes all,
Whose Parts, and Vertues are but small:
Would you Perfection's pattern see?
For Wisdom, and for Gravitie.
This Lady's Idæa take, and place
As't were a Glass; before your Face:
That when you cast your Eye upon her,
You mind your Vertue, both and Honour.
And (tracing her) your Fame may rear,
And fly up, to a higher Sphere.
Her Name, her Fame, and real Grace
Make up a Consort, in her Face.
38

Which (Musick like) without disguise,
Doth charm, not cheat beholders eyes.
Her praises no Man can rehearse
Enough; in prose, nor yet in verse.
Believe, or not, then choose you whether,
But England shew me such another.
