Laura. The Toyes of a Traveller. Or. The Feast of Fancie - Part 2, 16
From milke of Juno (as the Poets faine)
The Lilly had his whitenes, passing white,
And from Adonis blood (that lovely Swaine)
The Rose his colour red, which doth delight.
Thou (pretie Soule) hast both the colours rare
Of these sweet flowers, which others all exceed;
Thy Brest's a bed of beauteous Lillies faire,
Thy daintie cheekes pure damask Roses breed.
O frutefull Garden flowring, where appeare
The Rose and Lilly, at all times of yeare.
The Lilly had his whitenes, passing white,
And from Adonis blood (that lovely Swaine)
The Rose his colour red, which doth delight.
Thou (pretie Soule) hast both the colours rare
Of these sweet flowers, which others all exceed;
Thy Brest's a bed of beauteous Lillies faire,
Thy daintie cheekes pure damask Roses breed.
O frutefull Garden flowring, where appeare
The Rose and Lilly, at all times of yeare.
