Friendship's Mystery: To My Dearest Lucasia
https://enl3501g1.wordpress.com/friendships-mystery-to-my-dearest-lucasia-annotated/

I note that , as in the case of
Piers Gaveston by Michael Drayton
https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/pwh/drayton1.asp

those Elizabethans did seem fond of references to playing prince and subject, with lots of references to bondage thrown in.
But this poem also reminds me of
John Donne's "Air and Angels"
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44091/air-and-angels-56d2230aa341c

fnot only in its reference to angels, but in that Philips seems to intentionally countering Donne's statement that men's love is always of a higher plane that that of *lip curl* women.
See, Johnny: you aren't the only one who can come up with sexy angel poetry, so there!
