Giles Fletcher - To Licias LI lyrics

When first the sun whom all my senses serve, Began to shine upon this earthly round, The heavens for her all graces did reserve, That Pandor-like with all she might abound. Apollo placed his brightness in her eyes, His sk** presaging and his music sweet. Mars gave his force; all force she now defies; Venus her smiles wherewith she Mars did meet; Python a voice, Diana made her chaste, Ceres gave plenty, Cupid lent his bow, Thetis his feet, there Pallas wisdom placed. With these she queen-like kept a world in awe. Yet all these honors deeméd are but pelf, For she is much more worthy of herself.
