Love
Alcons Kisse
Love
WHat others at their Eare,
Two Pearles, Camilla at her Nose did weare,
Which Alcon who nought saw
(For Love is blind) robb'd with a pretty Kisse;
But having known his misse,
And felt what Ore he from that Mine did draw,
When she to come again did him desire,
He fled, and said, foule Water quenched Fire.
