William Browne


Lovely as all excellence.	1
Pure as blossoms, which are newly blowne.	2
Shone Like yealow flowres and grasse farre off, in one; Or like the mixture nature doth display Upon the quaint wings of the popinjay.	3
Softly like a stream of oil.	4
Thick as starlings in a fen.	5
The rose, like ready youth, enticing stands, And would be cropt if it might choose the hands.	6
