EpLin ["The Sun=beames, in the East are spred,"]




Winter daies bringe Much delight
Not for them selues, but for they soone bring Night
Other sweets waigst thee, then these [8sp] Meates
Other disportes, then dancinge Iollities
Other loue tricks then glancinge with the eyes.
But that the Svn still in our halfe Spheare sweates.
Hee flies in Winter, But hee now stands still
Yett shaddowes tvrne. Noone poynte hee hath attaind
His steeds will bee restraind
But gallop liuelye downe the Westerne hill:
Thou shalt when hee hath come the Worlds halfe frame
To night putt on perfection, and A womans name.

The amorus eveninge starr is rose
Why should not then our amorus starr enclose
Her selfe in her wishd bedd? release your stringes
Musitians, And dancers take some truce
With these your pleasinge labours, for greate vse.
As much weariness, as perfection brings
Yow and not only yow, but all toyld beasts
Rest dulie, att Night, and their toyles are dispensed:
Butt in their bedds commensed
Are other labours and more dainty feastes
Shee goes a maid, who least shee turne the same.
To night puts on perfection, and a Womans Name.
