Vpon the faire Ethiopian sent to a Gentlewoman.
Religion
LO here the faire Chariclia! in whom strove
So false a Fortune, and so true a Love.
Now after all her toyles by Sea and Land,
O may she but arrive at your white hand.
Her hopes are crown'd, onely she feares that than,
Shee shall appeare true Ethiopian.
