An Allusion to Horace

...
For Songs, and Verses, Mannerly Obscene, 
That can stirr Nature up, by Springs unseene, 
And without forceing blushes, warme the Queene: 
Sidley, has that prevailing gentle Art, 
That can with a resistlesse Charme impart, 
The loosest wishes to the Chastest Heart, 
Raise such a Conflict, kindle such a ffire 
Betwixt declineing Virtue, and desire, 
Till the poor Vanquisht Maid, dissolves away, 
In Dreames all Night, in Sighs, and Teares, all Day.

An Epitaph On Mr. Fishborne The Great London Benefactor And His Executor

...ay, whose charity
Doth hereby get occasion to redeeme
Thousands out of the grave: though cold hee seeme
He keepes those warme that else would sue to thee,
Even thee, to ease them of theyr penury.
Sorrow I would, but cannot thinke him dead,
Whose parts are rather all distributed
To those that live; His pitty lendeth eyes
Unto the blind, and to the cripple thighes,
Bones to the shatter'd corps, his hand doth make
Long armes for those that begg and cannot take:
All are supply'd ...Read more of this...

Astrophel and Stella

...hall begin to spell,
Sweet babes must babies haue, but shrewd gyrles must be beaten.

Thinke now no more to heare of warme fine-odour'd snow,
Nor blushing Lillies, nor pearles Ruby-hidden row,
Nor of that golden sea, whose waues in curles are broken,
But of thy soule, so fraught with such vngratefulnesse,
As where thou soone might'st helpe, most faith dost most oppresse;
Vngratefull, who is cald, the worst of euils is spoken,

Yet worse then worst, I say thou art a ...Read more of this...

Schyre schedez the rayn in schowrez ful warme,
Fallez vpon fayre flat, flowrez there schewen,

On The Death Of A Twin

...avens booke?
Two Twins, to whom one Influence gave breath,
Differ in more than Fortune, Life and Death.
While both were warme (for that was all they were
Unlesse some feeble cry sayd Life was there 
By wavering change of health they seem'd to trie
Which of the two should live, for one must die.
As if one Soule, allotted to susteine
The lumpe, which afterwards was cutt in twain,
Now servde them both: whose limited restraynt
From double vertue made them both to faynt:
But when ...Read more of this...

With queint Bellona in her equipage.

But ah my corage cooles ere it be warme,
For thy, content us in thys humble shade:
Where no such troublous tydes han us assayde,
Here we our slender pipes may safely charme.

And when my Gates shall han their bellies layd:

V. 
What blood of Centaurs did thy Bosom warme, 
And boyle the Balsome there up to a Storme ? 
Nay Balsome flow'd not with so soft a Floud, 
As thy Thoughts Evenly Virtuous, Mildly Good ! 
How could thy Skilful and Harmonious Hand, 
That Rage of Seas, and People could command, 
And calme Diseases with the Charming strings, 
Such Discords make in the whole Name of Things ?
