‘¢ What cordials make this curious broth, 
This broth of smells, that feeds and fats my minde.” 
—Geo. Hersert, ‘* The Odour,” 
°¢ Know you, Faire, on what you look ; 
Devinest love lies in this book, . . 
Of your well perfumed prayers . 
That while I lay them on the shrine 
Of your white hand they still are mine.’
