To His Dear Valentine, Mistress Margaret Falconbridge

by Robert Herrick, 1648

Now is your turn, my dearest, to be set
A gem in this eternal coronet:
’Twas rich before, but since your name is down
It sparkles now like Ariadne’s crown.
Blaze by this sphere for ever: or this do,
Let me and it shine evermore by you.
