Fear examples and be wise.
Fair Calisto was a Nun.
Leda sailing on the stream,
To deceive the hopes of man,
Love accounting but a dream,
Doated on a silver Swan.
Diana in a Brazen Tower,
Where no Love was, Lov'd a flower.
2.
Hear ye Ladies that are coy,
What the mighty Love can do;
Fear the fiercenesse of the Boy,
The chast Moon he makes to wooe.
Vesta kindled holy fires,
Circled round about with spires,
Never dreaming loose desires,
Doating on the Altar dies.
Ilion in a short Tower higher,
He can once more both build and fire.
