Pore ruby lips would melt to spy
The doble sunns of ether eye.
L.They're falling starres and wandring spheres,
That, comet-like, disolve to teares;
Pore Sol himself must have eclips,
If but in sight of Daphnes lips.
E.The eyes are heavinly twins, that move
And guide us in the sea of love;
The double phare, whose welcome sight
Reveales the port of wishd delight.
L.Then eyes are onely flames, that show
Unto loves haven how to goe;
But what availes the biasing eye,
If lips there harbour first denye?
E.The eyes are loves familiers,
The intelligences of his spheres,
And can, twixt distant frend and frend,
Love characters and leters send.
L.They but his leter patents are,
Where vulgerd eyes' brode seales apeare;
But thers a deeper secret int,
Where lips theire privy seales imprint.
The doble sunns of ether eye.
L.They're falling starres and wandring spheres,
That, comet-like, disolve to teares;
Pore Sol himself must have eclips,
If but in sight of Daphnes lips.
E.The eyes are heavinly twins, that move
And guide us in the sea of love;
The double phare, whose welcome sight
Reveales the port of wishd delight.
L.Then eyes are onely flames, that show
Unto loves haven how to goe;
But what availes the biasing eye,
If lips there harbour first denye?
E.The eyes are loves familiers,
The intelligences of his spheres,
And can, twixt distant frend and frend,
Love characters and leters send.
L.They but his leter patents are,
Where vulgerd eyes' brode seales apeare;
But thers a deeper secret int,
Where lips theire privy seales imprint.
