ValName ["My name engraud herein"]

Valediction of my Name
in the Windowe.|

My name engraud herein
Doth contribute my firmenes to this glasse;
Which euer since that charme hath bin
As hard, as that, which graud it was.
Thyne eies will giue it price enough to mocke
The Diamonds of either rocke.

Tis mvch that glasse should bee
As all confessinge, and through shine, as I;
Tis more, that itt showes thee to thee,
And cleere reflects thee to thine eie.
But all such rules, loues Magique can vndoe,
Heere yow see mee, And I am yow.

As noe one poynt nor dash,
Which are but accessarie to this name,
The showres and tempests can outwash,
Soe shall all tymes finde mee the same.
Yow this intirenes better may fulfill
Who haue the patterne with you still.

Or if too hard, and deepe
This learninge bee, for a scratchd name to teach
Ytt as a giuen deaths head keepe,
Louers Moralitie to preach;
Or thinke this ragged bonie name to bee
My ruinous Anatomie [CW: Then]
