Eternall Twins that conquer Death and Time,
Perpetuall Aduocates in Heauen and Earth,
Fayre, chast, imaculat, and all diuine,
Glorious alone, before the first man's byrth:
You two-fold CHARITES, celestiall lights,
Bow your Sun-rysing eyes, Planets of ioy,
Vpon these Orphan Poems: in whose rights,
Conceit first claym'd his byrth-right to enioy.

If pittifull, you shun the song of Death,
Or feare the staine of Loues life-dropping blood,
O know then you are pure, and purer fayth,
Shall still keepe white, the flower, the fruite, and bud.
Loue moueth all things, you that loue, shall moue
All things in him: and he in you shall loue.
