XXXVIII.

RICH Damask Roses in fair cheeks do bide

Of my sweet Girl, like April in his prime:

But her hard heart, cold chilly snow doth hide;

Of bitter Januar, the perfect sign.

Her hair of gold shows yellow like the corn

In July, when the sun doth scorch the ground;

And her fair breast, ripe fruit which doth adorn

September rich. So as in her is found

Both Harvest, Summer, Winter, Spring to be:

Which you in breast, hair, heart, and face may see.
