| | | HOW many golden days! have I set free | |
| From tedious travail in a sadder Muse, | |
| While I, of amours have conferred with thee! | |
| While I, long absence never need excuse! | |
| Sweet was Occasion! and for sweet inexplicable, | 5 |
| That eyes’ invited guests unto thine eyes’ fare; | |
| When, by thy dainty leave, on coral table | |
| I fed! O there, I sucked celestial air! | |
| Amidst these sug’ry junkets thirsty, I | |
| Have thy delicious hand, with my lips pressed! | 10 |
| I drew for wine, but found ’twas Ambrosie: | |
| O how my spirits inly that refreshed! | |
| Yet, ay me! since I relished this delight; | |
| I e’er more thirsted with a hotter appetite! | | | | |
