Venice Great Neptunes Minion, still a Mayd,
Though by the warrlikst Potentats assayed;

Nor any Forren mixtures can endure;
Though, Syren-like on Shore and Sea, Her Face
Enchants all those whom once She doth embrace,

Those following Leaves display, if well observed,

Venus and Venice are Great Queens in their degree,
Venus is Queen of Love, Venice of Policie.
