Title: Amour 13
Author: Michael Drayton [ More Titles by Drayton]
Cleere _Ankor_, on whose siluer-sanded shore My soule-shrinde Saint, my faire _Idea_, lyes; O blessed Brooke! whose milk-white Swans adore The christall streame refined by her eyes: Where sweet Myrh-breathing _Zephyre_ in the spring Gently distils his Nectar-dropping showers; Where Nightingales in _Arden_ sit and sing Amongst those dainty dew-empearled flowers. Say thus, fayre Brooke, when thou shall see thy Queene: Loe! heere thy Shepheard spent his wandring yeeres, And in these shades (deer Nimphe) he oft hath been, And heere to thee he sacrifiz'd his teares. Fayre _Arden_, thou my _Tempe_ art alone, And thou, sweet _Ankor_, art my _Helicon_.
