TO ELECTRA (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: More white then whitest lillies far
Last Line: White, warme, and soft to lye with me.


More white then whitest Lillies far,
Or Snow, or whitest Swans you are:
More white then are the whitest Creames,
Or Moone-light tinselling the streames:
More white then Pearls, or Juno's thigh;
Or Pelops Arme of Yvorie.
True, I confesse; such Whites as these
May me delight, not fully please:
Till, like Ixion's Cloud you be
White, warme, and soft to lye with me.
