| A..................119 | |
| That euery Louers eye may melt a line; | 8 |
| To giue each verse a sleight touch with his wing, | 10 |
| There was a louely boy the Nymphs had kept, | 12 |
| A face he had that shew'd his parents fame, | 16 |
| Diana being hunting on a day, | 20 |
| Shee saw the boy vpon a greene banke lay him, | 20 |
| Diana had no longer bene a mayd. | 34 |
| Till one day walking to a pleasant spring, | 46 |
| Laying him downe vpon a flowry bed, | 48 |
| Till on a day, when the great Queene of loue | 60 |
| Fayning a cause to take away his sight, | 70 |
| But Venus set those eyes in such a place, | 72 |
| As grac't those cleare eyes with a clearer face. | 74 |
| A cristall brooke, that tril'd along the ground, | 96 |
| A brooke, that in reflection did surpasse | 96 |
| Within this brook a beauteous Nymph did dwell, | 102 |
| So faire she vvas, of such a pleasing grace, | 104 |
| So straight a body, and so sweet a face, | 106 |
| So straight a body, and so sweet a face, | 106 |
| So soft a belly, such a lustie thigh, | 106 |
| So soft a belly, such a lustie thigh, | 106 |
| So large a forehead, such a cristall eye, | 108 |
| So large a forehead, such a cristall eye, | 108 |
| So soft and moyst a hand, so smooth a brest, | 108 |
| So soft and moyst a hand, so smooth a brest, | 108 |
| So faire a cheeke, so well in all the rest, | 110 |
| He could deceiue her in a showre of gold, | 122 |
| Or like a Swanne come to her naked bed, | 122 |
| Like a bright starre he would in heauens vault place her. | 134 |
| And hoping as a starre she should ere long | 136 |
| A little water, through a little quill, | 162 |
| A little water, through a little quill, | 162 |
| Meaning a while to rest him in her bowre; | 166 |
| But there was such a busie rout before; | 168 |
| That he could passe no foote without a fee: | 170 |
| And entred straight into a spacious hall, | 176 |
| Without her doore he saw a porter sit, | 182 |
| And still she cry'd and beg'd for a iust doome | 196 |
| There might a man behold the naked pride | 214 |
| To which his owne hands whilome gaue a birth, | 236 |
| He laid him downe by a coole riuer side, | 238 |
| That it had lul'd him in a heauenly sleepe. | 242 |
| But a faire Nymph was bathing when he wak'd, | 244 |
| As that great Ioue should make the mayd a starre. | 250 |
| If Ioue would make the mortall mayd a starre, | 306 |
| He neuer more a thunder-bolt would make: | 310 |
| And still the faire Queene with a prety grace, | 314 |
| To bend a bow, nor euer did she hunt, | 364 |
| To take, or painted quiuers or a dart, | 370 |
| Nor tooke she painted quiuers, nor a dart, | 372 |
| Which with a fillet tide she oft did weare: | 378 |
| Might be best fitting so diuine a creature, | 386 |
| Her skinne was with a thinne vaile ouerthrowne, | 386 |
| And with a garland of the sweating vine, | 392 |
| Light-headed Bacchus: for vpon a day, | 408 |
| But he a god, at last did plainely see, | 418 |
| Why such a Nymph should wish to be alone? | 442 |
| Then with a sweet kisse cast thy beames on mee, | 446 |
| Hath oft reform'd a rude vnciuill throng | 488 |
| Bearing a great hate in his grieued brest, | 494 |
| Bright-fac't Apollo: for vpon a day, | 496 |
| And a thicke Beuer which he vs'd to weare, | 514 |
| In the blest sight of such a melting boy. | 542 |
| What a laborious thing it vvas to guide | 552 |
| And there with Thaetis did he rest a space: | 560 |
| A treble night for faire Alcmena's sake, | 568 |
| To giue a glimsing to each mortall eye. | 596 |
| Paynted her chaste cheeks with a blushing red, | 600 |
| So louely faire, and such a well shap't boy, | 620 |
| Fayning her count'nance with a louers care, | 630 |
| O boy, most worthy to be thought a god, | 634 |
| That was so blest, to be a sire to thee; | 640 |
| Here did she pause a while, and then she sayd, | 648 |
| Be not obdurate to a silly mayd. | 650 |
| A flinty heart within a snowy brest, | 650 |
| A flinty heart within a snowy brest, | 650 |
| Is like base mold lockt in a golden chest: | 652 |
| Hath a cleare cristall Palace of abode. | 656 |
| Then might a man his shamefast colour see, | 662 |
| Or Iuory dide o're with a pleasing red, | 664 |
| It is a mans shame to deny a mayd. | 672 |
| It is a mans shame to deny a mayd. | 672 |
| For sure they doe aspire: Else could a youth, | 676 |
| Be so relentlesse to a virgins tongue? | 678 |
| A farre more beauteous Nymph hid in thy eye? | 692 |
| Or hide her beauty in a darker place. | 696 |
| With any payne due to a bad offence; | 702 |
| That scorn'd to let a beauteous Nymph enioy | 704 |
| By graunting to a lucklesse Nymphs request: | 708 |
| That art so loth to kisse a youthfull mayd. | 714 |
| Wert thou a mayd, and I a man, Ile show thee, | 714 |
| Wert thou a mayd, and I a man, Ile show thee, | 714 |
| With what a manly boldnesse I could woo thee: | 716 |
| Might not my ouer-boldnesse be a sinne, | 718 |
| Thy rosiat cheeke a little to behold: | 720 |
| Then would I beg a touch, and then a kisse, | 720 |
| Then would I beg a touch, and then a kisse, | 720 |
| And then a lower; yet a higher blisse: | 722 |
| And then a lower; yet a higher blisse: | 722 |
| When like a Swan the craftie god was hid? | 724 |
| Looke how when Autumne comes, a little space | 736 |
| Shewes thee to be of such a female heart. | 748 |
| For with a gentle dew from heauens bright towre, | 752 |
| And I a flowre from out the earth new borne! | 756 |
| And he was carelesse of a sad Nymphs woe. | 758 |
| This boy nor loues himselfe, nor yet a mayd. | 762 |
| And, for she could not get a greater blisse, | 782 |
| She did intreat at least a sisters kisse; | 784 |
| In her warme brest kindled a fresh desire. | 796 |
| A part as white and youthfull as the rest, | 798 |
| (Like a young boy that is espy'd of none) | 828 |
| To shew mens secrets to a womans eye: | 848 |
| Like the bright Sunne reflected in a glasse: | 854 |
| Or a white Lilly in a cristall glasse. | 864 |
| Or a white Lilly in a cristall glasse. | 864 |
| The ouerflowing waues would haue a bound | 888 |
| May neuermore a manly shape retaine, | 916 |
| But halfe a virgine may returne againe. | 918 |
| A mayden smoothnesse seyzeth halfe his limmes. | 922 |
