011.H05.HE1  Elegy.
011.H05.001  ffond woman, w%5ch%6 wouldst haue thy husband dy,
011.H05.002  and yet complain'st of his greate Iealousy;
011.H05.003  yf swolne with poison he lay in his last bed,
011.H05.004  his body with a sere-barke couered,
011.H05.005  drawinge his breath as thicke and short, as can
011.H05.006  the nimblest crotchettinge Musitian,
011.H05.007  ready with loathsome vomitinge to spue
011.H05.008  his soule out of one hell into a newe,
011.H05.009  make deafe with his poore kinreds howlinge cryes,
011.H05.010  begginge with fewe faind' teares greate Legacyes,
011.H05.011  thou wouldst not weepe, but iolly and frolicke be,
011.H05.012  as a slaue, w%5ch%6 to morrowe should be free:
011.H05.013  yet weepst thou when thou see'st him hungerly
011.H05.014  swallowe his owne death, Hartes-bane, Iealousy.
011.H05.015  oh! giue him many thankes, he is courteous,
011.H05.016  that in suspectinge kindly warneth vs.
011.H05.017  we must not, as wee vs'd, floute openly
011.H05.018  in scoffinge riddles, his deformity;
011.H05.019  nor at his board together beinge sate,
011.H05.020  with words, nor touch, scarse lookes adulterate,
011.H05.021  nor when he swolne and pamper'd with high fare,
011.H05.022  sitts downe, and snorts, cagd' in his Baskett-chaire,
011.H05.023  must we vsurpe his owne bed any more,
011.H05.024  nor kisse and play in his house as before.
011.H05.025  Nowe I see many dangers; for that is
011.H05.026  his Realme, his Castle, and his Diocesse.
011.H05.027  but >%Vyf< (as envious men w%5ch%6 would reuile
011.H05.028  theire prince, or coyne his gold, themselues exile
011.H05.029  into another Countrey and doe it there)
011.H05.030  we into some third place retyred were,
011.H05.031  there we will scorne his house-hold pollicyes,
011.H05.032  his silly plotts and pensionary spies;
011.H05.033  as the Inhabitants of Thames right side
011.H05.034  do Londons Maior, or Germans the Popes pride.
