958. TO THE MOST COMELY AND PROPER
M. ELIZABETH FINCH.
Handsome you are, and proper[1] you will be
Despite of all your infortunity:
Live long and lovely, but yet grow no less
In that your own prefixed comeliness:
Spend on that stock: and when your life must fall,
Leave others beauty to set up withal.

960. TO HIS BOOK.
If hap it must, that I must see thee lie
Absyrtus-like[1], all torn confusedly:
With solemn tears, and with much grief of heart,
I'll recollect thee, weeping, part by part;
And having wash'd thee, close thee in a chest
With spice; that done, I'll leave thee to thy rest.

961. TO THE KING, UPON HIS WELCOME TO HAMPTON
COURT. SET AND SUNG.
Welcome, great Cæsar, welcome now you are
As dearest peace after destructive war:
Welcome as slumbers, or as beds of ease
After our long and peevish sicknesses.
