17th century........

ask me no more where those stars light,
the downwards fall in dead of night,
for in your eyes they sit,and there
fixed become,as in their sphere.

ask me no more if east or west,
the phoenix builds her spicy nest,
for unto you at last she flies,
and in your fragrant bosom dies.
