  CLIV

    The little Love-god lying once asleep, Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste1 life to keep Came tripping by； but in her maiden2 hand The fairest votary3 took up that fire Which many legions of true hearts had warm'd； And so the general of hot desire Was, sleeping, by a virgin4 hand disarm'd. This brand she quenched5 in a cool well by, Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual, Growing a bath and healthful remedy, For men diseas'd； but I, my mistress' thrall6, Came there for cure and this by that I prove, Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
