Pastoral Poems by Nicholas Breton, Selected Poetry by George Wither, and Pastoral Poetry by William Browne (of Tavistock)

by Nicholas Breton; William Browne; George Wither

To know that sense, no sense can understand,

To understand that all the world may know,

Such wit, such sense, eyes, hands, there are no moe.

Sonnet

The worldly prince doth in his sceptre hold

A kind of heaven in his authorities;

The wealthy miser, in his mass of gold,

Makes to his soul a kind of Paradise;

The epicure that eats and drinks all day,

Accounts no heaven, but in his hellish routs;
