Sonnet LXXVII

Was it a dreame, or did I see it playne,a goodly table of pure yvory:all spred with iuncats, fit to entertayne,the greatest Prince with pompous roialty.

By loue himselfe and in his garden plaste.

Her brest that table was so richly spredd,my thoughts the guests, which would thereon haue fedd.
