On the Eyes and Breasts of the Lady on Whom He Was Enamoured

Anonymous

LADY, on your eyes I gazed;

When amazed

At their brightness,

On your breasts I cast a look,

No less took

With their whiteness:

Both I justly did admire,

These all snow and those all fire.

Whilst these wonders I survey’d,

Thus I said

In suspense:

Nature could have done no less,

To express

Her providence,

Than that two such fair worlds might

Have two suns to give them light.
