YE tradefull
Merchants that with weary toyle,
do seeke most
pretious things to make your gain:
and both the
Indias of their treasures spoile,
what needeth you
to seeke so farre in vaine?
For loe my loue doth in
her selfe containe
all this worlds riches that may
farre be found,
if Saphyres, loe her eies be
Saphyres plaine,
if Rubies, loe hir lips be Rubies
found:
If Pearles, hir teeth be pearles both pure
and round;
if Yuorie, her forhead yuory weene;
if Gold, her locks are finest gold on ground;
if
siluer, her faire hands are siluer sheene,
But that
which fairest is, but few behold,
her mind adornd
with vertues manifold.
