Princes doe but play vs, Compard to this [f. 82]
All honors mimique; All wealth Alchimy
Thou Sunne art half as happy as we
In that the worlds Contracted thus
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warme the world, thats done in warming vs.
Shine here to vs, and thou art every wheare,
This bed thy Center is, theis walls thy Spheare.|
Songe.
1. I Can loue both faire and browne,
Her whom aboundance melts, & her whom want betrayes
Her who loves lonenes best, & her who masks and playes;
Her whom the Country formed, and whom the Towne.
Her who beleeves, and her who tries,
Her who still weepes, wth spungie eyes,
And her who is drie Corke, and never cries.
I Can love her, and her, and yo,u and yo,u
I Can loue any, so she be not true.|
3 Venus heard me sigh this songe,
And by loues sweetest part, variety she swore
She heard not this till now; & yt it should be soe no more,
She went examind, and retournd ere longe.

[CW: And]
