A Ring presented to Julia.
IVlia, I bringTo thee this Ring.Made for thy finger fit;To shew by this,That our love is(Or sho'd be) like to it.
Close though it be,The joynt is free:So when Love's yoke is on,It must not gall,Or fret at allWith hard oppression.
But it must playStill either way;And be, too, such a yoke,As not too wide,To over-slide;Or be so strait to choak.
So we, who beare,This beame, must reareOur selves to such a height:
descriptionPage 72
As that the stayOf either mayCreate the burden light.
And as this roundIs no where foundTo flaw, or else to sever:So let our loveAs endless prove;And pure as Gold for ever.
