To meet it, when it woos and seems to fold
The arms to hug you? throw, throw

"You see 'tis ready, and the maze of love
Looks for the treaders; everywhere is wove
Wit and new mystery, read and
Put in practice, to understand
And know each wile,
Each Hieroglyphic of a kiss or smile;
And do it in the full, reach
High in your own conceipts, and rather teach
Nature and Art one more
Sport than they ever knew before.

Begin to pink, as weary that the wars
Know so long Treaties; beat the Drum

And guild the field,
Fight bravely for the flame of mankind, yield
Not to this, or that assault,
For that would prove more Heresy than fault
In combatants to fly
'Fore this or that hath got the victory.
