John Suckling, The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse… (1910)

“ LOVE'S BURNING-GLASS
Wondering long, how I could harmless see
Men gazing on those beams that fired me,
At last I found it was the crystal, Love,
Before my heart that did the heat improve:
Which, by contracting of those scatter'd rays⁠5
Into itself, did so produce my blaze. ”
