Fly on thy swiftest wing, ambitious Fame, And speake to the cold North Castara's name : Which every breath will, like the East wind, bring The temp 'rate warmth and musicke of the spring. Then, from the articke to th' antarticke pole, Haste nimbly, and inspire a gentler soule, By naming her, i' th' torrid South ; that he May milde as Zephyrus' coole whispers be. Nor let the West, where Heaven already joynes The vastest empire, and the wealthiest mines, Nor th' East, in pleasures wanton, her con...demne, For not distributing her gifts on them. For she with want would have her bounty meet, Love's noble charity is so discreete. " DOMINE LABIA MEA APERIES. " Noe monument of me remaine, My mem'orie rust In the same marble with my dust, Ere I the spreading laurell gaine By writing wanton or prophane. Ye glorious wonders of the skies, Shine still, bright starres, Th' Almightie's mystick characters ! He not your beautious lights surprize, T' illuminate a woman's eyes. Nor, to perfume her veines, will I In each one set The purple of the violet : The untoucht flowre may grow and dye Safe from my fancie's injurie.
