For this love is enragd wth me, [f. 97] |
Yett killes not; if I must example be |
To future rebells; if thunborne |
Must learne, by my being cutt vp and torne |
Kill, and desect me, love; for this |
Torture against thine owne end is, |
Rackt Carcasses make ill Anatomies.| |

Some man vnworthy to be possessor |
Of old or new love; himself being false or weake, |
Thought his paine, and shame would be lesser |
If on womankind he mought his anger wreake |
And thence a law did grow |
One should but one man know |
But are other creatures soe?| |
|
Are Sunne, Moone, or Stars, by law forbidden, |
To smile where they list; or lend away their light? |
Are birds divorcd, or are they chidden, |
If they leaue their mate, or lie abroad a night? |
Beasts did noe jointers loose |
Though they new lovers choose |
But we are made worse then those| |
|
Who ere rigd faire shipp to lye in harbors, |
And not to seeke new lands, or not to deale wth All? |
Or build faire houses sett trees and Arbors,
|
