| For this to comfort of my deare I vowe [140] |
| My deeds shall still bee what my deeds ar now |
| The Pole shall moue, to teach mee, when I start |
| And when I change my loue Ile change my hart |
| Nay, if I waxe but cold in my desire |
| Thinke heauen hath motion lost and the world fire |
| Much more I could, but many words haue made |
| That oft suspected w.ch men would perswade |
| Take therefore all in this. I loue so true |
| As I will never looke for lesse in you. |

| Elegie 15. |
|
| I sing no harme, goodsooth, to any wight |
| To Lord, or foole, Cuckold, begger, or knight |
| To peace-teaching Lawyer, proctor, or braue |
| Reformed or reduced Captayne, knaue |
| Officer Iugler or Iustice of Peace |
| Iuror or Iudge, I touch no fat Sowes greace |
| I am no Libeller, nor will bee any |
| But, like a true man, sweare there are too many |
| I feare no Ore Tenus, for my tale |
| Nor Count nor Counseller shall redd or pale |
| A Citizen and his wife the other day |
| Both riding on one horse vpon the way |
| I overtooke, The wench a pretty peate |
| And by her eye well fitting for the feate |
| I sawe the lecherous Citizen turne back |
| His head, and on his wiues lipps seale a smack
