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.

1. Upon a Braid of Hair in a Heart sent by Mrs. E. H.
2. Tell Me No More How Fair She Is
3. The Short Wooing
4. On the Earl of Essex
5. To His Unconstant Friend
