Tixall Poetry.
L.I hope to Cupid none will prove
But that, i' th' moving orbs of love,
The lips make best conjunction;
And what would lovers wish but union?
E.If lips are all the mouth can say,
The eyes have lips as well as they,
Which heare are onely lips to cover
The pearly treasures of a lover.
L.If pearles are all the eye can show,
The lips have each a perfect row,
Which, not to ope to vulger sights,
Are closd in corail cabinets.
E.Each rurall lover knows the price
Of corail lips cheape marchandise;
But who can prise loves diomond dart,
Is surely master of his art.
L.Each country-lass a ring may get,
And wear a braselet too of geat;
But loves quene onely gets the gem,
And beares the ruby diadem.
E.Ah! what are gemes' or jewells' light,
Compard to starres' or planets' sight?
But that, i' th' moving orbs of love,
The lips make best conjunction;
And what would lovers wish but union?
E.If lips are all the mouth can say,
The eyes have lips as well as they,
Which heare are onely lips to cover
The pearly treasures of a lover.
L.If pearles are all the eye can show,
The lips have each a perfect row,
Which, not to ope to vulger sights,
Are closd in corail cabinets.
E.Each rurall lover knows the price
Of corail lips cheape marchandise;
But who can prise loves diomond dart,
Is surely master of his art.
L.Each country-lass a ring may get,
And wear a braselet too of geat;
But loves quene onely gets the gem,
And beares the ruby diadem.
E.Ah! what are gemes' or jewells' light,
Compard to starres' or planets' sight?
