One of her hands one of her cheeks lay under,      Cosening the pillow of a lawful kiss,    Which therefore swell`d, and seem`d to part asunder,      As angry to be robb`d of such a bliss!       The one look`d pale and for revenge did long,       While t`other blush`d, `cause it had done the wrong.     Out of the bed the other fair hand was      On a green satin quilt, whose perfect white    Look`d like a daisy in a field of grass,     And show`d like unmelt snow unto the sight;      There lay this pretty perdue, safe to keep      The rest o` th` body that lay fast asleep.    Her eyes (and therefore it was night), close laid     Strove to imprison beauty till the morn:   But yet the doors were of such fine stuff made,     That it broke through, and show`d itself in scorn,      Throwing a kind of light about the place,      Which turn`d to smiles still, as`t came near her face.    Her beams, which some dull men call`d hair, divided,     Part with her cheeks, part with her lips did sport.   But these, as rude, her breath put by still; some     Wiselier downwards sought, but falling short,      Curled back in rings, and seemed to turn again      To bite the part so unkindly held them in.
