ACROSTICH.
R arest of Virgins, in whose Breast and Eyes,A ll that is Vertuous and Lovely lies:C ou'd I describe but half thy Excellence,H ow wou'd the Gods with speed Bodies condense!E ternity for Thee they wou'd despise,L eave their Divine Abodes, new Shapes devise,L ovelier than that which Danae did surprize.
P roud if in any Form they thee cou'd please,O r give to their Immortal Cares some ease;W hen us, poor Mortals, with your Sight you bless,N one can find words their wonder to express;E namouring and dazling with your Sight,Y ou prove at once our Torture and Delight.
