Phineas Fletcher


Black as starless night.	1
Look as it is with some true April day, Whose various weather stores the world with flowers; The sun his glorious beams doth fair display, Then rains and shines again, and straight it lowers, And twenty changes in one hour doth prove; So, and more changing is a woman’s love.	2
Moving like heaven still in the self-same moving.	3
Vanished like an empty shade.	4
White as molten glass.	5
