On his Mistress.
IF any do desire to knowWhere the flow'rs of Vertue grow;Where content, delight, or mirthDoth inhabit upon earth:Let them resort to me, and IThe place thereof will soon descry.
Where's Piety without deceit,Where Love without Strife or debate;Where Beauty's mixt with comely grace,Vertue resideth in that place.And in my Love all these do meet;No marvel then if she be sweet.
