Like tapers on the altar shine her eyes;
Her breath is the perfume of sacrifice.
First thinke, and if thy thoughts approve thy will,
Then speake, and after what thou speakst fulfill.
Poems (1638)
Thinke that is just; 'tis not enough to doe,
Unless thy very thoughts are upright too.
Poems (1638)
Reprove not in their wrath incensèd men,
Good councell comes cleane out of season then.
But when his fury is appeas'd and past,
He will conceive his fault and mend at last.
Poems (1638)
Earth’s not so coy as you are now.
But willingly admits the plow.
For how had man or beast been fed,
If she had kept her maiden head?
Go see the wholesome Country Girles make hay,
Whose browne hath lovelier grace,
Than any painted face,
That I doe know
Hyde-Parke can show.
SHEPHERD: Men are more eloquent then women made:
NYMPH: But women are more powerfull to persuade.
Wer’t possible that my ambitious sin,
Durst commit rapes upon a Cherubin,
I might have lustfull thoughts to her, of all
Earths heav’nly Quire the most Angelicall.
There from the tree
We'll cherries pluck and pick the strawberry,
And every day
Go see the wholesome country girls make hay,
Whose brown hath lovelier grace
Than any painted face
That I do know
Hyde Park can show.
