To Mistresse Amie Potter.
A I me! I love, give him your hand to kisseWho both your wooer, and your Poet is.Nature has pre-compos'd us both to Love;Your part's to grant; my Scean must be to move.Deare, can you like, and liking love your Poet?If you say (I) Blush-guiltinesse will shew it.Mine eyes must wooe you; (though I sigh the while)True Love is tonguelesse as a Crocodile.And you may find in Love these differing Parts;Wooers have Tongues of Ice, but burning hearts.
