VENUS and ADONIS.
For Lovers say, the heart hath treble wrong,
When it is bar'd the aidance of the tongue.
When it is bar'd the aidance of the tongue.
An Oven that is stopt, or River staid,
Burneth more hotly, swelleth with more rage:
So of concealed sorrow may be said!
Free vent of words loves fire doth asswage:
But when the hearts Atturney once is mute,
The Client breaks, as desperate in his sute.

He sees her coming, and begins to glow,
Even as a dying coal revives with wind,
And with his bonnet hides his angry brow,
Looks on the dull earth with disturbed mind;
Taking no notice that she is so nigh,
For all ascance he holds her in his eye.

O what a sight it was wistly to view,
How she came stealing to the wayward Boy,
To note the fighting conflict of her hiew,
How white and red each other did destroy:
But now her cheek was pale, and by and by
It flasht forth fire, as lightning from the sky.

Now was she just before him as he sat,
And like a lowly lover down she kneels,
With one fair hand she heaveth up his hat,
Her other tender hand his fair cheek feels:
His tender cheeks receive her soft hands print,
As apt as new fallen snow takes any dint.
