ElChange ["Although thy hand, and faith, and good works too"]

With words, nor touch, scarce lookes, adulterate!
Nor when hee swolne, and pamperd with greate fare,
Sitts downe, and snorts, cagd in his baskett chaire,
Must wee vsurpe his owne bedd any more
Nor kisse and plaie in his howse as before,
Now I see many dangers; for that is
His realme, his Castle, and his Diocis
But if as enuious men which whould revile
Their Prince, or coyne his gould them selues exile
Into Another countrye, and doe it there
Wee plaie in another howse, what should wee feare?
There wee will scorne his howsehold Policies,
His sillie plotts, and Pensionarie Spies:
As the inhabitants of Thames right side.
Doe Londons Maior, or Germans the Popes pride|.





Elegie.

Although thy hand, and faith, and good works too
Haue seald thy loue, which nothinge should vndoe;
Yea though thou fall backe that Apostacie
Confirme thy loue; yet mvch mvch I feare thee:
Weomen are like the Arts forcd vnto none
Open too all Searchers; vnprisd if vnknowne;
If I haue caught a bird, and lett him flie
Another fowler vsinge those meanes as I,
May catch the same bird, and as these things bee
Weomen are made for Men, not him nor mee.
Foxes and Goates, All beasts change when they please
Shall weomen more hott, wilie, wild then these.
