436. THE CROWD AND COMPANY.

In holy meetings there a man may be
One of the crowd, not of the company.


438. POLICY IN PRINCES.

That princes may possess a surer seat,
'Tis fit they make no one with them too great.


440. UPON THE NIPPLES OF JULIA'S BREAST.

Have ye beheld (with much delight)
A red rose peeping through a white?
Or else a cherry, double grac'd,
Within a lily centre plac'd?
Or ever mark'd the pretty beam
A strawberry shows half-drown'd in cream?
Or seen rich rubies blushing through
A pure smooth pearl and orient too?
So like to this, nay all the rest,
Is each neat niplet of her breast.


441. TO DAISIES, NOT TO SHUT SO SOON.

Shut not so soon; the dull-ey'd night
Has not as yet begun
To make a seizure on the light,
Or to seal up the sun.

No marigolds yet closed are,
No shadows great appear;
