Shall the fierce tide of rapture speak ;
And on your lips a warmer glow

The deepen'd ruby then shall show :
Your breast, replete with youthful fire;
Shall heave with tumults of desire;
Shall heave at thoughts of wish'd-for bliss,
Springing as tho' 'twould meet my kiss ;
Down on that heav'n I'll sink quite spent,
And lie in tender languishment;

But soon your charms' reviving pow'r
Shall to my frame new life restore :
With love I'll then my pains assuage;
With kisses cool my wanton rage;
Hang o'er thy beauties till I cloy;
Then cease, and then renew my joy!

TO THE MOST EXCELLENT, AND MOST ADMIRET PRINCESSE, THE LADY ELIZABETH.

TEPHOM Heaven with all choise graces hath endow'd,
Whom both the angels praise, and men admire;

On whom her Maker hath his bounty show'd,
Where nothing wants that mortall can desire.

Whose beauties are as farre beyond compare,
As are her inward virtues of the mind,
But in that height unmatchably so rare
We on the earth her equall cannot finde.

Her parents joy, the peeres selected pleasure,
The peoples admiration, kingdomes wonder,
Of forraigne climes the praise, of ours the treasure,
May this daies sacred union never sunder;

That whilst we daily of high Heaven importune,
We may be in your royall issue blest :
You may still grow in bewtie, vertue, fortune,
So with your fame our joyes may be increast.
Prove thou a prophet, muse, say 'tis decreed,
All Christendome shall florish in your seed.

Your Graces most humbly devoted,

THOMAS HEYWOOD.
