One like none, and lik't of none fittest weare [f. 26] |
For thinges in fashion euerie Man will weare. |

Elegie .5.| |
|
Althoughe thy hand, and fayth, and good workes to* |
Haue seal'd thy loue, wch nothing should vndoe. |
Yea, thoughe thou fall back, that Apostacie |
Confirme thy loue; yet much, much, I feare thee. |
Weomen are like the Artes, forc'd vnto none, |
Open to all Searchers, vnpriz'd if vnknowne. |
If I haue caught a Byrd, and lett him flye, |
Another Fowler vsing theis meanes, as I |
May catche the same Byrd, and as these thinges bee |
Weomen are made for Men, not him, nor Mee. |
Foxes, and Goates; All beastes chaung when they please, |
Shall weomen more hotte, wilie-wild then these |
Bee bound to One Man? And did Nature them |
Idelie make them apter to endure then Men? |
They are our Clogges, and their owne; If a Man bee |
Chay'nd to a Gallie, yet the Galley's free. |
Who hath a Plough-land, castes all his Seed-corne there, |
And yet allowes his Ground more Corne should beare. |
Thoughe Danubie vnto* the Sea must flowe, |
The Sea receives the Rheine,* Volga, and Po.
