To Castara.
Of the knowledge of Love.

Where sleepes the North-wind when the South inspires

Life in the spring, and gathers into quires

The scatter'd Nightingales; whose subtle eares

Heard first th' harmonious language of the Spheares;

Whence hath the stone Magneticke force t'allure

Th' enamour'd iron; From a seed impure

Or naturall did first the Mandrake grow;

What powre ith' Ocean makes it ebbe and flow;
