And younglings, with such sports as these, And lying down have nought t' affright Sweet sleep, that makes more short the night. _Cætera desunt ----_ _Soil'd_, manured. _Compost_, preparation. _Fox i' th' hole_, a hopping game in which boys beat each other with gloves. _Cockrood_, a run for snaring woodcocks. _Glade_, an opening in the wood across which nets were hung to catch game. (Willoughby, _Ornithologie_, i. 3.) 663. TO ELECTRA. I dare not ask a kiss, I dare not beg a smile, Lest having that, or this, I might grow proud the while. No, no, the utmost share Of my desire shall be Only to kiss that air That lately kissed thee. 664. TO HIS WORTHY FRIEND, M. ARTHUR BARTLY. When after many lusters thou shalt be Wrapt up in sear-cloth with thine ancestry; When of thy ragg'd escutcheons shall be seen So little left, as if they ne'er had been; Thou shalt thy name have, and thy fame's best trust, Here with the generation of my Just. _Luster_, a period of five years. 665. WHAT KIND OF MISTRESS HE WOULD HAVE. Be the mistress of my choice Clean in manners, clear in voice; Be she witty more than wise, Pure enough, though not precise; Be she showing in her dress Like a civil wilderness; That the curious may detect Order in a sweet neglect; Be she rolling in her eye, Tempting all the passers-by; And each ringlet of her hair An enchantment, or a snare For to catch the lookers-on; But herself held fast by none. Let her Lucrece all day be, Thais in the night to me. Be she such as neither will _Famish me, nor overfill_. 667. THE ROSEMARY BRANCH. Grow for two ends, it matters not at all, Be 't for my bridal or my burial. 669. UPON CRAB. EPIG. Crab faces gowns with sundry furs; 'tis known He keeps the fox fur for to face his own. 670. A PARANÆTICALL, OR ADVISIVE VERSE, TO HIS FRIEND, M. JOHN WICKS.
