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