Here you will find the Poem To A Valentine of poet William Strode
Faire Valentine, since once your welcome hand Did cull mee out wrapt in a paper band, Vouchsafe the same hand still, to shew thereby That Fortune did your will no injury: What though a knife I give, your beauty's charme Will keepe the edge from doing any harme: Wool deads the sternest blade; and will not such A weake edge turne, meeting a softer touch?
