In nimble measures beauty, wit, and love.

Nor thinke Castara (though the sexe be fraile,

And ever like uncertaine vessels saile

On th' ocean of their passions; while each wind

The Sunne forget to yeeld his welcome flame

To th' teeming earth, yet she remaine the same.

And in my armes (if Poets may divine)
