But if in liuing colours, and right hew,
2 +Your+ selfe +you+ couet to see pictured,
Who can it doe more liuely, or more trew,
4 Then that sweet verse, with Nectar sprinckeled,
In which a gracious seruant pictured
6 His Cynthia, his heauens fairest light?
That with his melting sweetnesse rauished,
8 And with the wonder of her beames bright,
My senses lulled are in slomber of delight.
