TO ANTHEA LYING IN BED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: So looks anthea, when in bed she lyes
Last Line: Which done, that dawne, turnes then to perfect day.


So looks Anthea, when in bed she lyes,
Orecome, or halfe betray'd by Tiffanies:
Like to a Twi-light, or that simpring Dawn,
That Roses shew, when misted o're with Lawn.
Twilight is yet, till that her Lawnes give way;
Which done, that Dawne, turnes then to perfect day.
