Upon the first sight of my Lady Seimor.

VVonder not much, if thus amaz'd I look,
Since I saw you, I have been Planet-strook:
A Beauty, and so rare I did descrie,
As should I set her forth, you all as I
Would lose your hearts; for he that can
Know her and live, he must be more then man.

An apparition of so sweet a Creature,
That credit me, she had not any feature
That did not speak her Angel. But no more
Such heavenly things as these we must adore,
Nor prattle of; lest when we do but touch,
Or strive to know, we wrong her too too much.
