Corsica Encourages Amarillis to Love

Our beauty is to us that which to men
Wit is, or strength unto the lion. Then
Let us use it whilst wee may;
Snatch those joyes that haste away.
Earth her winter-coat may cast,
And renew her beauty past;
But, our winter come, in vain
We sollicite spring again:
And when our furrows snow shall cover,
Love may return, but never Lover.
