Sweet Cytheria, sitting by a Brooke,
With young Adonis, lovely, fresh and greene, Did court the Lad with many a lovely looke, Such lookes as none could looke but beauties Queene, She told him stories, to delight his eares: She show'd him favors, to allure his eye: To win his heart, she toucht him here and there, Touches so soft, still conquer chastitie. But whether unripe yeares did want conceit, Or he refus'd to take her figured proffer, The tender nibler would not touch the bait, But smile, and jest, at every gentle offer: Then fell she on her backe, faire Queene, and toward He rose and ran away, ah foole too froward.
