TO A LADY, WITH A PAIR OF GLOVES, ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

BY VILLIERS, DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.

BRIMFUL of anger, not of love,
 The champion sends his foe one glove;
 But I, who have a double share
 Of softer passion, send a pair. 
Nor think it, dearest Celia, cruel
 That I invite you to a duel;
 Ready to meet you face to face,
 At any time, in any place:
 Nor will I leave you in the lurch,
 Tho' you should dare to name the church;
 There come equipp'd with all your charms,
 The ring and licence are my arms;
 With these I mean your power to try,
 And meet my charmer tho' I die.

A SONNET MADE ON ISABELLA MARKHAME, WHEN I FIRSTE THOUGHT HER FAYER AS SHE STOOD AT THE PRINCESS'S WINDOWE IN GOODLYE ATTYRE, AND TALKEDE TO DYVERS IN THE COURTE-YARD.

FROM A MS. OF JOHN HARRINGTON, dated 1564.

WHence comes my love, O hearte, disclose,
 'Twas from cheeks that shamed the rose;
 From lips that spoyle the rubies prayse;
 From eyes that mock the diamond's blaze. 
Whence comes my woe, as freely owne,
 Ah me! 'twas from a hearte lyke stone. 

The blushynge cheek speakes modest mynde,
 The lipps befitting wordes moste kynde;
 The eye does tempte to love's desyre,
 And seems to say, 'tis Cupid's fire;
 Yet all so faire, but speak my moane,
 Syth noughte dothe saye the heart of stone. 

[Page 182]

Why thus, my love, so kynde bespeake,
 Sweet lyppe, sweet eye, sweet blushynge cheeke,
 Yet not a hearte to save my paine,
 O Venus, take thy giftes againe,
 Make not so faire to cause our moane,
 Or make a hearte that's lyke our owne.
