You knowe, Phisitians when they would infuse [200]
Into an Oyle the Soule of Simples, vse
Places where they may still lye warme, (to choose):
So workes Retyrednesse in vs, to rome
Giddily and bee every where but at home
Such freedome doth a banishment become
Wee are but farmers of our selues, yet may,
If wee can stock our selues and thriue, vplay
Much much good Treasure for the greate Rent day
Manure thy selfe then, to thy selfe bee approoud,
And with vayne outward shewes bee no more mou'd
But to knowe that I loue thee and woulde bee lou'd.
To S.r Henry Wotton
Heere's no more Newes then Vertue; I may as well
Tell you Callis or St Michels tales, as tell
That vice doth heere habitually dwell
yet, as to get Stomacks wee walke up and downe
And toyle to sweeten rest (So may God frowne)
If (but to loath both) I haunt Court or Towne
ffor heere no one is from th'Extremity
of vice by any other reason free
But that the next to him's still worse then hee
In this worlds warfare, they whome rugged fate,
Gods Com̀„issary, doth so throughly hate
As i'th Courts Squadron to Marshall theyr state
