LovUsury ["For every howre that thou wilt spare mee now"]

This face by which hee could command,
And change the 'Idolatrie of any land;
This face, which wheresoeuer itt comes,
Can call vowd men from Cloysters, dead from tombes
And melt both Poles, att once, and store
Deserts with Citties: And make more
Mynes in the Earth, Then quarries were before

For this loue is enragd with mee,
Yett kills not: If I mvst example bee
To future Rebbells; if the Vnborne
Must learne by my beeing cut vp and torne,
Kill, and desect mee, loue for this
Torture against thine owne eand is;
Rackt carcases make ill Anatomies.

Loues Vsurye.

For every howre that thou wilt spare mee now
I will allowe
(Vsurious God of loue, twentie to thee,
When with my browne my graie haires equall bee
Till then Loue, lett my boddy raigne: And lett
Mee trauaile, soiourne, snatch, plott, haue, forgett,
Resume my last yeares relique: Thinke that yett
Wee had never mett.

Let mee thinke any Riualls letter myne,
And att next Nyne
Keepe Midnights promise; Mistake by the waie
The Mayde, and tell the Ladie of that delaie. [CW: onlye.]
