The description of noble Love.
NOw Lovers, in a word to tell
What Noble Love is, mark me well.
It is the Counterpoise that mindes
To fair and vertuous things inclines,
It is the gust we have and sence
Of every noble excellence.
It is the pulse by which we know,
Whether our souls have life or no;
And such a soft and gentle fire,
As kindles and inflames desire;
Until it all like Incence burns,
And unto melting sweetness turns.
