| And vnsuspected hast invisiblie [f. 28] |
| At once fledd vnto him, and stay'd with Mee. |
| Base Excrement of Earth, wch dost confound |
| Sence, from distinguishing the sicke, from sound. |
| By thee, the sillie Amorous suckes his Death, |
| By drawing in a leprous Harlotts breath. |
| By thee the greatest stayne to Mans Estate |
| Falles on Vs, to bee cal'd Effeminate. |
| Thoughe yow bee much lov'd in the Prince Hall |
| These thinges that seeme, exceede substantiall. |
| Gods! when yow fumde on Altars were pleasd well, |
| Because yow were burnt, not that they lik't yor smell. |
| Yow are loathsome all being taken simplie alone, |
| Shall wee loue ill-thinges ioynd? & hate each One? |
| If yow were good, your good doth soone decaye, |
| And yow are rare, that takes the good awaye. |
| All my Perfumes I giue most willinglie |
| To embalme thy fathers* Coarse; What will hee die? |
|
| Elegie .7. |
|
| Heere take my Picture, thoughe I bidd farewell. |
| Thine in my hart, where my Sowle dwelles shall dwell. |
| Tis like mee now; but I dead, t'will bee more
