LOVE.

Love still a boy, and oft a wanton is,
School'd only by his mother's tender eye;
What wonder then, if he his lesson miss,
When for so soft a rod dear play to try?
And yet my Star, because a sugar'd kiss
In sport I suck'd, while she asleep did lie,
Doth lour, nay chide, nay threat, for only this;
Sweet, it was saucy Love, not humble I.

But no sense serves; she makes her wrath appear
In beauty's throne-see now who dares come near
These scarlet judges, threatening bloody pain?
O heavenly fool, thy most kiss-worthy face
Anger invests with such a lovely grace,
That anger's self I needs must kiss again.

HEAVEN.

There is lyf without ony death,

Sir PHILIP SYDNEY.

And there is youth without ony elde;
And there is all manner wealth to welde;
And there is rest without ony travaille;
And there is pees without ony strife,
And there is all manner lyving of life;—
And there is bright somur ever to see,
And there is never winter in that countrie;
And there is more worship and honour
Than ever had king or emperour;

And there is great melody of angeles songe,

And there is preysing him among;

And there is alle manner friendship that may be,

And there is evere perfect love and charitie;
And there is wisdom without folye,

And there is honestie without vileneye;
As these a man may joys of hevene call;
As quitte the most sovereign joye of alle ;
To the sight of Goddes bright face

In whom shineth all mannere grace.

A curious and beautiful description of Heaven by ROLLE, a hermit of the order of St. Augustine, who lived near Doncaster in the 14th century.
