    Thus I have told thee all my State, and brought

    My Storie to the sum of earthly bliss

    Which I enjoy, and must fess to find

    In all things else delight indeed, but such

    As usd or not, works in the mind no ge, [ 525 ]

    Nor vehement desire, these delicacies

    I mean of Taste, Sight, Smell, Herbs, Fruits and Flours,

    Walks, and the melodie of Birds; but here

    Farr otherwise, transported I behold,

    Transported touch; here passion first I felt, [ 530 ]

    otion strange, in all enj>.</a>oyments else

    Superiour and unmovd, here onely weake

    Against the charm of Beauties powerful glan<dfn>..</dfn>ce.

    Or Nature faild in mee, a some part

    Not proof enough such Object to sustain, [ 535 ]

    Or from my side subdug, took perhaps

    More then enough; at least on her bestowd

    Too much of Or, in outward shew

    Elaborate, of inward less exact.

    For well I uand in the prime end [ 540 ]

    Of Nature <q>.</q>her th inferiour, in the mind

    And inward Faculties, which most excell,

    In outward also her resembling less

    His Image who made both, and less expressing

    The character of that Dominion givn [ 545 ]

    Ore other Creatures; yet when I approach

    Her loveliness, so absolute she seems

    And in her self pleat, so well to know

    Her own, that what she wills to do or say,

    Seems wis<bdo></bdo>est, vertuousest, discreetest, best; [ 550 ]

    All higher knowledge in her <big>..</big>presence falls

    Degraded, Wisdom in discourse with her

    Looses distnanct, and like folly shewes;

    Authority and Reason on her waite,

    As oended first, not after made [ 555 ]

    Occasionally; and to mate all,

    Greatness of mind and noblehir seat

    Build in her loveliest, and create an awe

    About her, as a guard Angelic plact.
