THIS transplantation of Sicilian loves
To the more pleasing shades of Albion's groves,
Though I admire, yet not the thing betrays
My soul to so much wonder, as the ways
And manner of effecting; that thy youth,
Untravell'd there, should with such happy truth
Unlock us this Iberian cabinet,
Whose diamonds you in polish'd English set,
Such as may teach the eyes of any dame
I' th' British Court to give and take a flame;
Herein the greatest miracle we see,
That Spain for this hath travell'd unto thee.
