Laura. The Toyes of a Traveller. Or. The Feast of Fancie - Part 3, 25
Gold upon gold mine onely Joy did plate,
Whilst she did dresse her head by christall Glasse:
But whilst she lookt on it, it sodaine brake;
So (as amazde thereat) much grievd she was.
To whom I said; To grieve thus tis in vaine,
Since what is broke, whole cannot be againe.
Looke stedfastly with both thine eyes on mee,
Who have my hart (through Love) a glasse new made:
She on my face lookt, and her selfe did see:
Wherewith (contented throughly) thus she said,
Most happie I, since for to dresse my hed,
For broken glasse, of whole one I am sped.
