To fall in love with danger,) that now drawes

You to the fate of warre; it claimes applause:

And every worthy hand would plucke a bough

From the best spreading bay, to shade your brow.

Since you unforc'd part from your Ladies bed

Warme with the purest love, to lay your head

Perhaps on some rude turfe, and sadly feele

The nights cold dampes wrapt in a sheete of steele.

You leave your well grown woods; and meadows which

Our Severne doth with fruitfull streames enrich.
