[Transcriptions are not provided for noncanonical poems,

*
The heavens rejoyce in motion why, should I
Abjure my so much lov'd variety,
And not with many youth and lov'd divide?
Pleasure is none, if not diversifi'd
The sun that sitting in the chair of light
Sheds flame into what else soever doth seem bright,
Is not contented at one Sign to Inne,
But ends his year and with a new beginnes.
All things do willingly in change delight,
Th fruitful mother of our appetite:

[CW: Rivers]
