First Line: Put on your silks; and piece by piece
Last Line: By your owne jewels set on fire.
Subject(s): Perfume


Put on your silks; and piece by piece
Give them the scent of Amber-Greece:
And for your breaths too, let them smell
Ambrosia-like, or Nectarell:
While other Gums their sweets perspire,
By your owne jewels set on fire.
