• The little Love-God lying once asleep
    Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
    Whilst many nymphs that [vowd] chaste life to keep
    Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand
    The fairest [votary] took up that fire
    Which many legions of true hearts had [warmd];
    And so the general of hot desire
    Was sleeping by a virgin hand [disarmd].
    This brand she quenched in a cool well by,
    Which from Loves fire took heat perpetual,
    Growing a bath and healthful remedy
    For men diseased; but I, my mistress thrall,
    Came there for cure, and this by that I prove,
    Loves fire heats water, water cools not love.
