A Song.
ASk me no more where Iove bestowes,When Iune is past, the fading rose:For in your beauties orient deep,These Flowers as in their causes sleep.
Ask me no more whither doe strayThe golden Atomes of the day:For in pure love heaven did prepareThose powders to inrich your hair.
Ask me no more whither doth hastThe Nightingale, when May is past:For in your sweet dividing throatShe winters, and keeps warm her nose.
Ask me no more where those starres light,That downwards fall in dead of night:For in your eyes they sit, and there,Fixed, become as in their sphere.
Ask me no more if East or west,The Phenix builds her spicy nest:For unto you at last she flyes,And in your fragrant bosome dies.
