No worldly treasure can assure that place;
God makes both even, the Cottage with the Throne.

And since all arts at first from Nature came,
That goodly creature, mother of perfection,
Whom Jove's almighty hand at first did frame,
Taking both her and hers in his protection:
Why should not she now grace my barren muse,
And in a woman all defects excuse.

And all things else did hold like similes:
The trees with leaves, with fruits, with flowers clad,
Embrac'd each other, seeming to be glad.


Emilia Lanier
