Gold.

Pretious dirt. Fairer dunghill. Mechanick trash. Jove knew thee when he courted Danaae, And Cupid wears thee on that arrowes head That still prevailes. On Ida once the Martial maid. Venus and Juno did to mortal eyes. Naked for thee their sacred bodies show The bait of avarice. The glittering oare.

India's rich bowels. Tagus. Pactolus sands. The misers God. The general charme. Bright son of Sol, much brighter than his father. The golden ore That lies on Tagus or Pactolus shore. That pure sand The Indians find upon Hydaspes strand. The golden apples of the Hesperides. The golden fleece. The Golden number. Golden rule. Bills of this metal slackt At'lanta's pace, And on the amorous youth bestow'd the race: Venus the Nimphs mind measuring by her own, Whom the rich spoiles of cities overthrown, Had prostrated to Mars, could well advise Th' adventurous lover how to gain the prize. Nor lesse may Jupiter to gold 〈…〉〈…〉▪ For when he turn'd himselfe in 〈…〉〈…〉, Who can blame Danaaeor the b••••••en tower, That they withstood not th' Almighty shower. Never till then did Love make Jove put on A forme more bright and noble than his own.
