: : In nature apt to like when I did see
: : Beaties, which were of manie Carrets fine,
: : My boiling sprites did thither soone incline,
: : And, Love, I thought that I was full of thee:
: : But finding not those restlesse flames in me,
: : Which others said did make their souls to pine:
: : I thought those babes of some pinnes hurt did whine,
: : But while I thus with this young Lyon plaid;
: : Mine eyes (shall I say curst or blest) beheld
: : Stella; now she is nam'd, need more be said?
: : In her sight I a lesson new have speld,
: : I now have learn'd love right, and learn'd even so,
: : As who by being poiond doth poison know.

: : What is the meaning of "this young Lyon plaid"? Is it reffering to the volatility of pionate love? Any help would be appreciated.
