More then thy hate I hate it, rather let mee [126]
Allow her change then change as oft as shee.
And so not teach but force my opinion
To loue, not any one, nor every one.
To liue in one land, is Captiuity,
To runne all countryes, a wild roguery.
Waters stinke soone if in one place they bide
And in the vast Sea are worse putrifyd.
But when they kisse one banke, and leauing this
Never looke back, but the next banke do kisse
Then ar they pur'est, Change is the Nursery
Of Musick Ioye life and Eternity.
Elegie .9.
On his Mistresse desiring to bee disguisd
and goe like a Page with him
By our first strange and fatall enterview
By all desires w.ch thereof did ensue
By our long staruing hopes, by that remorse
W.ch my words masculine persuasiue force
Begott in thee, and by the memory
Of hurts w.ch spies and riualls threatned mee.
I calmely begg. But by thy fathers wrath
By all paynes w.ch want and diuorcement hath
I coniure thee, and all the oaths wch I
And thou haue sworne to seale ioynt constancy.

[CW: Heere___]
