A present, upon a New-yeares day.
Goe! hunt the whiter Ermine! and present
His wealthy skin, as this dayes Tribute sent

Goe! climbe that Rock! and when thou there hast found
A Starre, contracted in a Diamond,
Give it Endimion's Love; whose lasting Eyes,
Out-looke the Starry Jewells of the Skies!
Goe! dive into the Southern Sea! and when
Th'ast found (to trouble the nice sight of Men)
A swelling Pearle; and such whose single worth,
Boasts all the wonders which the Seas bring forth;
