You that have taught my soule to love aright,
You in whose limbes are natures chief expense
Fitt instrument to serve your

If ever you have felt the miserie 5
Of being banish'd from your best desier,
By Absence, Time, or Fortunes tyranny,
Sterving for cold, and yet denied for fier:
Deare mistresse pittie then the like effects
The which in mee your absence makes to flowe, 10
And haste their ebb by your divine aspect
In which the pleasure of my life doth growe:
Stay not so long for though it seem a wonder
You keepe my bodie and my soule asunder.

Your lips that seem on roses fed,
Your breasts, where Cupid

Nor sleeps for kissing of his bed:--

Like Hebe's in her ruddiest hours,
