And being cup-shot, more he could not do.

Since when, methinks, my brains about do swim,
And I am wild and wanton like to him.

Cup-shot, drunk.

1018. A VOW TO VENUS.

Happily I had a sight
Of my dearest dear last night;
Make her this day smile on me,
And I'll roses give to thee.


1019. ON HIS BOOK.

But yet no end of these therein, or me:
Here we begin new life, while thousands quite
Are lost, and theirs, in everlasting night.


1020. A SONNET OF PERILLA.

Then did I live when I did see
Perilla smile on none but me.
But, ah! by stars malignant crossed,
The life I got I quickly lost;
But yet a way there doth remain
For me embalm'd to live again,
And that's to love me; in which state
I'll live as one regenerate.
