LONDON, Printed for _Thomas Walkley_. 1645. O volume, worthy, leaf by leaf and cover, To be with juice of cedar washed all over! Here's words with lines, and lines with scenes consent To raise an act to full astonishment; Here melting numbers, words of power to move Young men to swoon, and maids to die for love: _Love lies a-bleeding_ here; Evadne there Swells with brave rage, yet comely everywhere; Here's _A Mad Lover_; there that high design Of _King and No King_, and the rare plot thine. So that where'er we circumvolve our eyes, Such rich, such fresh, such sweet varieties Ravish our spirits, that entranc'd we see, None writes love's passion in the world like thee.
