Classic Poem

When Nature now had wonderfully wrought
All Avristella's parts, except her eyes,
To make those twinnes two lamps in beautie's skies,
Shee counsell of her starrie senate sought.
Mars and Apollo first did her aduise
In colour blacke to wrappe those comets bright,
That Loue him so might soberly disguise,
And vnperceiued, wound at euery sight.
Chaste Phebe spake for purest azure dyes,
But Iove and Venvs greene about the light
To frame thought best, as bringing most delight,
That to pin'd hearts hope might for ay arise:
Nature, all said, a paradise of greene
There plac'd, to make all loue which haue them seene.
