Fancies and Fantasticks. 355The Horse doth ease, if he be ridden,The Feast doth please, if Guest be bidden,The Bucket draws the water forth.The Rose when pluck'd, is still most worth :Such is the Virgin inmy eyes,That lives, loves, marries, ere she dyes.Like a Stock not grafFed on,Or like a Lute not playd upon,Like a Jack without a weight,Or a Bark without a fraight,Like a Lock without a Key,Or a Candle in the day :Just such as these may she be said,That lives, not loves, but dyes a maid.The graffed Stock doth bear best fruite,There's Musick in the finger'd LuteThe weight doth make the Jack go ready,The fraight doth make the bark go steady ;The Key the Lock doth open right,A Candle's useful in the night:Such is the Virgin in my eyes,That lives, loves, marries, ere she dyes.Like a Call without a Non-sir,Or a Question without Answer,Like a Ship was never rigg'd,Or a Mine was never digg'd ;A A 2KIT
