The copy-text is Hesperides (London, 1648).
| Have ye beheld (with much delight) | ||
| A red-Rose peeping through a white? | ||
| Or else a Cherrie (double grac’t) | ||
| Within a Lillie? Center plac’t? | ||
| 5 | Or ever mark’t the pretty beam,° | glow |
| A Strawberry shewes halfe drown’d in Creame? | ||
| Or seen rich Rubies blushing through | ||
| A pure smooth Pearle, and Orient too? | ||
| So like to this, nay all the rest, | ||
| 10 | Is each neate Niplet of her breast. |
