Like to the damask rose you see,
Or like the blossom on the tree.

Argalus and Parthenia (1629). Claimed by him but attributed to John Phillipot (Philpott) in Harleian Manuscript, 3917, fol. 88 b., a fragment written about the time of James I. Credited to Simon Wastell (1629) by Mackay, as it is appended to his Microbiblion. Said to be an imitation of an earlier poem by Bishop Henry King. Reported in Hoyt's (1922), p. 893
