To Chloris.

CHloris, what eminent wee know, Must for some cause be valued so; Things without use, though they be good, Are not by us so understood. The early Rose made to display Her bushes to the youthfull May, Doth yeeld her sweets since he is faire. And courts her with a gentle ayre. Our stars too shew their excellence, Not by their light, but influence; When brighter Comets since still known. Fatall to all, are lik't by none: So your admired beauty still Is by effects made good or ill.
