| He wch hath busines, and makes loue, doth doe |
| Such wrong, as when a married man doth woo.| |

| Take heed of loving me |
| At least remember I forbad it thee, |
| Not that I shall repaire my vnthrifty wast |
| Of breath and blood, vpon thy sighes and teares, |
| *But so great ioy our life at once owtweares, |
| Then least thy love by my death frustrate be |
| If thou love me, take heed of loving me.| |
|
| Take heed of hating me |
| Or too much tryumph in the victory, |
| Not that I shalbe myne owne officer, |
| And hate with hate, againe retallyate, |
| But thou wilt loose the stile of Conquerer, |
| If I thy conquest, perish by thy hate. |
| Then least my being nothing lessen thee |
| If thou hate me, take heed of hating me.| |
|
| Yett loue, and hate me too, |
| So theis extreames shall neithers office doe, |
| Love me that I may die the gentler way, |
| Hate me because thy loves too great for me,
