May be viewed at the best,
And the earth doth now appear
In her fairest

Sweetly smelling plants and flowers
Do perfume the garden bowers;

Mixed with pleasure profits yield.

--So though you're white as swan or snow,
And have the power to move
A world of men to love;
Yet, when your lawns and silks shall flow,
And that white cloud divide
Into a

Then will your hidden pride
Raise greater fires in men.
