By the chaste influence of a faire,

Whose vertue shin'd in the bright orbe of love.

Now woman, like a Meteor vapor'd forth

From dunghills, doth amaze our eyes;

Not shining with a reall worth,

But subtile her blacke errors to disguise.

Thus will they talke, Castara, while our dust

In one darke vault shall mingled be.

The world will fall a prey to lust,

When Love is dead, which hath one fate with me.
