VIII.

And by this act of these two Phenixes

Nature againe restored is, 100

For since these two are two no more,

Ther's but one Phenix still, as was before.

Rest now at last, and wee

As Satyres watch the Sunnes uprise, will stay

Waiting, when your eyes opened, let out day, 105

Onely desir'd, because your face wee see;

Others neare you shall whispering speake,

And wagers lay, at which side day will breake,

And win by'observing, then, whose hand it is

That opens first a curtaine, hers or his; 110

This will be tryed to morrow after nine,

Till which houre, wee thy day enlarge, O Valentine.
