Fair mistress of my best affections
The following midnight hour's reflections,
Spring from a passion [?] pure and lasting,
I send, this morning, fresh and fasting.  [Signed] Hercules.

Your face, Your tongue, Your wit,
So fair, so sweet, so sharp,
First bent, then drew, then hit,
Mine eye, mine ear, my heart .
