If as I have, yow alsoe doe [f. 103] |
Vertue attired in woman see, |
And dare love that, and say so too |
And forgett the he, and she.| |
|
And if this love though placed soe |
From prophane men yow hide, |
Wch will noe faith on this bestow, |
Or if they doe deride.| |
|
Then yow haue done a braver thinge, |
Then all the worthies did; |
And a braver thence will springe, |
Wch is to keepe that hid.| |

I longe to talke with some old louers Ghost, |
Who died before the God of loue was borne, |
I Cannot thinke, that he who then loved most, |
Sunck soe lowe, as to love one wch did scorne, |
But since this God producd a destinee, |
And that vice-nature custome letts it be, |
I must loue her, that loves not me.| |
|
Sure they w.ch made him god, ment not soe much.
