Classic Poem

To the well deseruing Mr. Iohn Fletcher

Loue lies ableeding , if it should not proue
Her vttmost art to shew why it doth loue:
Thou being the subiect (now) it raignes vpon:
Raign'st in arte, iudgement and inuention:
 For this I loue thee; and can doe no lesse
 For thine as faire as Faithfull Sheepheardesse.
