Well, to leave you in that rapture, May I speak with the Princess? Yes, she went hence but now. May I adventure to go in? You may, but call my servant along with you. You are a longing again, but not a bit, 'tis sweet meat, not a bit. Why should I fear to entertain a guest So honourable as love is, that fills The mind with noble thoughts, and strengthens men To act such deeds themselves style gods. Pallas Mars and Mercury, are but the proper names For virtues, loves effects, without some kind Of which there could be no society, The world is held up with love's Deity, But it appears most godlike, when beauty Is its sphere. I will embrace thee therefore Gentle spirit. fools do profane thy fires And call thee a Disease. Thou wert the old And first Religion, not taught, but borne Within us, the only and first law, which None that loved could err in, thou hast too long Been absent, and unkindly never wouldst Vouchsafe a Dart till now. Dwell in my breast And teach me all thy laws. Let not thy shades And flowery banks withdraw thee, when thou mayst Inhabit here, make Paphies but thy refuge, The heart's thy native soil, thy mother's lap's A banishment to it. How well thou hast Already taught me, each Lover is thy Priest And speaks thy Power, without thy aid Beauty appears dead, and cold to all, as it hath Hitherto to me, nor sinks it deeper than the eye. Thou art the Organ that bears The species inward. When thou sit'st multiplied in every part, Thou mak'st each limb as sensible as the Heart. And Madam, I doubt not but shortly I shall bring you news of greater joys, and see you in that height you were borne, a Queen, not to be approached but by ceremony, and the humblest services. My Lord, that happiness you wish me through my Lord Timeus will come too soon upon me. But as I said before, my Lord, the Princes coming, if it be known, will cause much jealousy and danger. Madam, leave that to me, none but myself, and this Gentlemen (which I beseech your Grace to know) shall be acquainted with it, and we will wait upon him. Amongst those many voices, and knees which daily do you honour. I gladly would receive an humble place, and pay my duties at your feet too, you may demand what they are. A heart and careless life to do you service just so, what was Incense on an Altar to a Deity that had no scent: or a Cake and Wine to a power that had not Stomach? yet they hearkened to those which offered such trifles, and liked and approved the worship, with the same hopes I present my flight but most devoted Services.

Well, to leave you in that rapture, May I speake with the Princesse? Yes, she went hence but now. May I adventure to goe in? You may, but call my servant along with you. You are a longing againe, but not a bit, tis sweet meat, not a bit. Why should I feare to entertaine a guest So honourable as love is, that fills The minde with noble thoughts, and strengthens men To act such deeds themselves stile gods. Pallas Mars and Mercury, are but the proper names For virtues, loves effects, without some kind Of which there could be no society, The world is held up with Loves Deity, But it appeares most god-like, when beauty Is its sphere. I will imbrace thee therefore Gentle spirit. Fooles doe profane thy fires And call thee a Disease. Thou wert the old And first Religion, not taught, but borne Within us, the onely and first law, which None that lov'd could erre in, thou hast too long Been absent, and unkindly never wouldst Vouchsafe a Dart till now. Dwell in my brest And teach me all thy lawes. Let not thy shades And flowry bankes withdraw thee, when thou maist Inhabit here, make Paphies but thy refuge, The heart's thy native soile, thy mothers lap's A banishment to it. How well thou hast Already taught me, each Lover is thy Priest And speakes thy Power, without thy aide Beautie appeares dead, and cold to all, as it hath Hitherto to me, nor sinkes it deeper than the eye.
