Hence comes yt, that yor Beauty wounds not harts
As others, wth prophane and Sensuall darts,
But, as an Influence, vertuous thoughts imparts.
But if such frinds, by the'honor of yor Sight
Grow capable of thys so great a light,
As to partake yor vertues, and theyr might,
What must I thinke that Influence must doe,
Where yt finds Simpathy, and Matter too,
Vertu, and Beauty, of the same stuffe, as yow:
Wch ys, yor noble worthy Sister; Shee,
Of whom, if what in thys my extasye I see,
And Reuelation of yow both, I see,
I should write here, As in short Galleryes
The Master at the end large glasses tyes,
So to present the roome twice to or eyes,
So I should giue thys letter length, and say
That wch I sayd of yow; There ys no way
from eyther, but by th'other, not to stray.
May therfore thys bee'inough to testify
My true Deuotion, free from flattery.
He that beleeus himselfe, doth never ly.
To the Honorable lady
the lady Carew.
