Poem by Henry King, Bishop of Chichester

Epigram (I would not in my love top soone prevaile)

    Nolo quod cupio statim in tenere; 
    Nec victoria mi placet parata.
        
                      Petronius Arbiter

I would not in my Love top soone prevaile: 
An easy Conquest makes the purchase stale.
