P. A Lover to his Mistris.

THe purest piece of Nature is my choice, this days breath, and to morrow's death, Have several dooms from her all-charming voice,
So beyond fair, that no glass can her flatter; so sweetly mild, that tongues defil'd, Dare not on her their envious stories scatter.
The witty forms of beauty that are shed in flaming streams, from Poets theams, Like shadows when her self appears, are fled. O let me live in th' heaven of her bright eye▪ Great Love, I'le be thy constant Votary.
