.To45 8 Fancies and Fantasticks.Tell her that's youngAnd shuns to have her Graces spy'd,That hadst thou sprungIn Desarts where no men abide,Thou must have uncommended dy'd.Small is the worthOf beauty from the light retired,Bid her come forthSuffer her self to be desir'd,And blush not to be so admir'd.Then dye that she,The common fate of all things rareMayread in theeHow small a part of time they shareThat are so wondrous sweet, and faire.Another,.Lately on yonder fragrant Bush,Big with many a Coming Rose,This early Bud began to blush,And did but half it self disclose ;I pluck'd it, though no better grown,Yet now you see how fulljtis blown.Still as I did the leaves inspire,With such a Purple light they shoneAs if they had been made of fire,And spreading so, would flame anon ;All that was meant by Aire, or Sun,the young Flower my breath hath done.
