Valediction 4. Of Glasse
Vpon the engrauing of his name wth a
Dyamond in his M.rs Windowe when
hee was to trauell.
My name engrau'd heerein
Doth contribute my firmenesse to this glasse [250]
Who, ever since that charme hath bin
As hand as that wch grau'd it was
Thine eyes will giue it price enough to mocke
The dyamond of eyther rock.
Tis much that glasse should bee
As all-confessing and through-shine as I
Tis more that it shewes thee to thee
And cleere reflects thee* to mine*eye
But all such rules Loves Magick can vndoe
Heere you |see| mee, and I |am| you.
As no one poynt or dash
(Wch are but accessaryes to this name)
The showers and tempests can out-wash
So shall all times find in the same
You this entirenesse better may fulfill
Who haue the patterne with you still

[CW: Or if___]
