Of his loue name•• white.
FUll faire and white she is, and White by name:
Whose white doth striue, the lilli••s white to staine:
Who may contemne the blast of blacke defame:
who in darke night, can bring day bright againe.
The ruddy rose inpreaseth with cleare heew,
In lips and chekes, right orient to behold:
That the nerer gaser may that bewty reew,
And fele dispar••t in limmes the chilling cold:
For White, all white his bloodlesse face will be:
The asshy pale so alter will his cheare.
But I that do possesse in full degree
The harty loue of this my hart so deare:
So oft to me as she presents her face,
For ioy do feele my hart spring from his place.
