Thou art a plant sprung up to wither never,
But like a laurel to grow green for ever.

Hesperides (1648)

To read my book the virgin shy
May blush while Brutus standeth by,
But when he's gone, read through what's writ,
And never stain a cheek for it.

Hesperides (1648)

If anything delight me for to print
My book, 'tis this: that Thou, my God, art in't.

Hesperides (1648)
