Forehead and Cheekes.
The First Duell.
Forehead.Let guiltye-minded lovers seeke
Their picture in a blushing cheeke;
My virgin thoughts will best agree
With candid forheads puritye.
Cheekes.Let trembling cowards seeke ther face
I' th' pale, wan foreheads looking-glace;
My valiant love no meror seekes
But sanguin feelds and rosy cheekes.
F.Give me the white, to cloth my sence
Of love in native innocence;
Since tirant love is understoode
To paint and cloath it selfe in bloode.
Their picture in a blushing cheeke;
My virgin thoughts will best agree
With candid forheads puritye.
Cheekes.Let trembling cowards seeke ther face
I' th' pale, wan foreheads looking-glace;
My valiant love no meror seekes
But sanguin feelds and rosy cheekes.
F.Give me the white, to cloth my sence
Of love in native innocence;
Since tirant love is understoode
To paint and cloath it selfe in bloode.
