ValName ["My name engraud herein"]



Then, as all my soules bee
Enparadizd in yow (in whome alone
I vnderstand, and grow, and see)
The rafters of my bodie, bone
Being still with yow; the Muscle sinew and Vaine,
Which tile this howse, will come againe.|

Till my returne, repaire
And recompact my scattered body soe
As all the Vertuous powers which are
Fixt in the Starrs, are said to flowe
Into such characters, as graued bee,
When those starrs haue supremacie.

Soe since this Name was cutt,
When loue and griefe their exaltation had
Noe dore gainst this Names influence shutt,
As mvch more lovinge, as more sad
Twill make thee: And thou shouldst till I returne,
Since I die dalye, dailye mourne.

When they inconsiderate hand
Flings out the Casement, with my tremblinge name
To looke on one, whose witt or land
New batterye to thy hart may frame;
Then thinke this name aliue. And that thou thus
In itt offendst my Genius.
