A HYMNE TO VENUS, AND CUPID, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sea-born goddesse, let me be
Last Line: Ther's in love, no bitterness.


Sea-born Goddesse, let me be,
By thy sonne thus grac't, and thee;
That when ere I wooe, I find
Virgins coy, but not unkind.
Let me when I kisse a maid,
Taste her lips, so over-laid
With Loves-sirrop; that I may,
In your Temple, when I pray,
Kisse the Altar, and confess
Ther's in love, no bitterness.
