Not moved with sweetness, piety or parts,
Not mov'd with sweetnesse, piety or parts,
With dearest friends, with wives sad eyes and hearts;
As if the plants of such rare use and show,
Might not in a Terrestrial Garden grow;
Might not in a Terrestial Garden grow;
I'th' highest Paradise she hath him set,
Where the selectest Nurseries of the earth are met.
