As Lillies, Hyacinths, and the georgious birthe

Of all pide flowers that diaper the earthe,

45Please more with their discoloured purple traine

Then wholesome pothearbs which for use remaine.

Shall I a Gaudy Speckled Serpent kiss

For that the colours which he weares are his?

A perfumed Cordevant who will not wear

50Because the sente is borrowed elsewhere?

The roabes and vestiments, which grace us all

Are not our owne, but adventitiall.
