009.SA1.0HE  Elegye
009.SA1.001  As y%5e%6 sweete sweate of roses in a still,
009.SA1.002  as y%5t%6 w%5ch%6 from chast MuskCatt poores doth trill,
009.SA1.003  as y%5e%6 allmighty balme of the early East,
009.SA1.004  such are y%5e%6 sweat drops on my Mistresse breast;
009.SA1.005  and on her neck, her skin, such lustre setts,
009.SA1.006  they seeme not sweat-drops, but pearle Coronetts.
009.SA1.007  Rank sweaty froth thy Mistresse brow defiles,
009.SA1.008  like Spermatick issue of rank menstruous biles,
009.SA1.009  or like y%e%6 Sun, w%5ch%6 by needs needles law
009.SA1.010  enforc'd Sanferraes#%Ymen%Zstarved men to draw
009.SA1.011  from perboyld shooes, and bootes, & all y%5e%6 rest
009.SA1.012  w%5ch%6 were with any soveraigne fatnes blest;
009.SA1.013  and like vile lying stones in saffrond tinne,
009.SA1.014  or warts, or wheales, they hang vpon her skin.
009.SA1.015  Round as y%5e%6 worlds her head, on euery side
009.SA1.016  like to y%5e%6 fatall ball w%5ch%6 fell on Ide,
009.SA1.017  or that whereof God had such Iealousye
009.SA1.018  as for y%5e%6 rauishing wherof we dye,
009.SA1.019  Thy head is like a rough hewn statue of Ieat
009.SA1.020  where markes for eyes, nose mouth are yet scarce sett.
009.SA1.021  like y%5e%6 first Chaos, or flatt seeming face
009.SA1.022  of Cinthia, when the earths shades her embrace.
009.SA1.023  Like Proserpines fayre beauty keeping chest,
009.SA1.024  or Ioues best fortunes vrne, is her fayre breast
009.SA1.025  Thine like worme-eaten trunks, cloathd in Seales skins
009.SA1.026  or graues y%5t%6s durt without, & stinke within.
009.SA1.027  And like y%5t%6 slender stalke, at whose end stands
009.SA1.028  the woodbine quivering, are her armes & hands
009.SA1.029  Like rough barkt Elme boughs, or y%5e%6 russet Skinne [CW:om]
009.SA1.030  of men late scourgd for madnes, or for Sinne, [59]
009.SA1.031  like Sun parcht quarters, on y%5e%6 Citty gate,
009.SA1.032  Such is thy tan%Md skins lamentable state;
009.SA1.033  and like a bunch of ragged Carretts, stand
009.SA1.034  y%5e%6 short swolne fingers of thy gowty hand.
009.SA1.035  Then like y%5e%6 Chimicks masculine equall fire,
009.SA1.036  w%5c%6h, in y%5e%6 Limbecks warme wombe doth inspire
009.SA1.037  Into th'earth%Yles%Z worthles part, a soule of gold;
009.SA1.038  such cherishing heate her best loued part doth hold.
009.SA1.039  Thines like y%5e%6 dread mouth of a fired gunne,
009.SA1.040  or like %Ynew%Zhot liquid mettles newly run%Y,%Z
009.SA1.041  into clay molds, or like to that Etna,
009.SA1.042  where round about y%5e%6 grasse is burnt away;
009.SA1.043  are not your kisses then as ill, and more?
009.SA1.044  as a worme sucking an envenomed sore?
009.SA1.045  doth not thy swarthy hand in feeling quake
009.SA1.046  as one that gathering flowers, still feard a snake?
009.SA1.047  is not your last act harsh & violent,
009.SA1.048  as when a plow a stony ground Doth rent?
009.SA1.049  So kisse kind turtles, so deuoutly nice
009.SA1.050  are priests in handling reverent sacrifice,
009.SA1.051  and such in searching wounds y%5e%6 Surgeon is
009.SA1.052  as we when we embrace or touch or kisse:
009.SA1.053  leaue her and I will leaue comparing thus,
009.SA1.054  she and comparisons are odious.
