I must confesse (Deare friend) my flame,

Whose boasts Castara so doth tame,

That not thy faith, shall know her name.

Twere prophanation of my zeale,

If but abroad one whisper steale,

They love betray, who him reveale.

In a darke cave which never eye

Could by his subtlest ray descry,

It doth like a rich minerall lye.

Which is she with her flame refine,
