To me my Julia lately sent
A bracelet richly redolent:
The beads I kissed, but most lov’d her
That did perfume the pomander.

When a daffodil I see,Hanging down his head towards me,
Display thy *******, my Julia—there let meBehold that circummortal purity,
Here a pretty baby liesSung asleep with lullabies:
Fain would I kiss my Julia’s dainty leg,Which is as white and hairless as an egg.
