I know your heart cannot delight
In any state-Hermaphrodite,
Or such froathie gallants, as
For the times Hero's passe.
Such as (still in Love) do all
Fair, and sweet, and Lady call;
And where ere they hap to stray
Either prate the rest away,
Or of all discourse to seek
Shufle in at Cent or Gleek.
None of these (I know my dear)
But as Gorgons would appear
To you, and therefore I made choice
Of her effigies, who in voice
And Gesture you outstrip, as farre
As Cynthia doth the smallest starre.
But oh, let not your wisdome prove
That like her you cannot love.
