Title:     To Admiration
Author: Michael Drayton [More Titles by Drayton]

Marvell not Love, though I thy power admire,
Ravish'd a world beyond the farthest thought,
That knowing more then ever hath beene taught,
That I am onely starv'd in my desire;
Marvell not Love, though I thy power admire,
Ayming at things exceeding all perfection,
To wisedoms selfe, to minister direction,
That I am onely staru'd in my desire;
Marvell not Love, though I thy power admire,
Though my conceit I farther seeme to bend,
Then possibly invention can extend,
And yet am onely starv'd in my desire;
If thou wilt wonder, here's the wonder love,
That this to me doth yet no wonder prove.

[The end]
