[Poem XXI]
Take, O take those lippes away,
That so sweetly were forsworne,
And those eyes the breake of day
Lights which doe mislead the morne.
  But my kisses bring againe,
  Seales of Love, though seal'd in vaine.
Hide, O hide those hills of Snow
Which thy frozen bosome beares,
On whose toppes the Pinkes that grow,
Are of those that Aprils weares.
  But my poore heart first set free,
  Bound in those Icy chaines by thee.
