Tixall Poetry.

A Glasse Chayne Broken.


Cease to proclayme the victory,
And trophy of your ether eye;
Vaunt me no more your captive there,
Enchayned in a single haire:
Thees weire glorious fetters too,
And every linke as strong as you;
And yet you see the chayne is broke,
And I in tyme may slip the yoake.



A Glasse Window Broken.


The window of thyn eyes, my deare,
Will shatter too, if death peep there;
Nay, who'l asure them to outlast
Diseases stroke, or ages blast?
Oh, shut them now, and kindly rescue me,
And see how much tis safer not to see.
