012.00B.001  O%+H, let me not serve so, as those men serve,
012.00B.002  Whom honors smoaks at once fatten and sterve;
012.00B.003  Poorely enrich't with great mens words or lookes;
012.00B.004  Nor so write my name in thy loving bookes
012.00B.005  As those Idolatrous flatterers, which still
012.00B.006  Their Princes stiles, which many Realmes fulfill
012.00B.007  Whence they no tribute have, and where no sway.
012.00B.008  Such services I offer as shall pay
012.00B.009  Themselves, I hate dead names: Oh then let me
012.00B.010  Favorite in Ordinary, or no favorite bee.
012.00B.011  When my soule was in her own body sheath'd;
012.00B.012  Not yet by oathes betroath'd, nor kisses breath'd
012.00B.013  Into my Purgatory, faithlesse thee,
012.00B.014  Thy heart seem'd waxe, and steele thy constancy: [CW:So,]
012.00B.015  So, carelesse flowers strow'd on the waters face, [p.80]
012.00B.016  The curled whirlepooles suck, smack, and embrace,
012.00B.017  Yet drowne them; so, the tapers beamie eye
012.00B.018  Amorously twinkling, beckens the giddie flie,
012.00B.019  Yet burnes his wings; and such the Devill is,
012.00B.020  Scarce visiting them who are intirely his,
012.00B.021  When I behold a streame, which, from the spring,
012.00B.022  Doth with doubtfull melodious murmuring,
012.00B.023  Or in a speechlesse slumber, calmely ride
012.00B.024  Her wedded channels bosome, and there chide
012.00B.025  And bend her browes, and swell, if any bough
012.00B.026  Doe but stoope downe to kisse her utmost brow:
012.00B.027  Yet, if her often gnawing kisses winne
012.00B.028  The traiterous bankes to gape, and let her in,
012.00B.029  She rusheth violently, and doth divorce
012.00B.030  Her from her native and her long-kept course,
012.00B.031  And roares, and braves it, and in gallant scorne,
012.00B.032  In flattering eddies promising returne,
012.00B.033  She flouts her channal, which thenceforth is drie;
012.00B.034  Then say I; that is shee, and this am I.
012.00B.035  Yet let not thy deepe bitternesse beget
012.00B.036  Carelesse despaire in me, for that will whet
012.00B.037  My minde to scorne; and Oh, love dull'd with paine
012.00B.038  Was ne'r so wise, nor well arm'd as disdaine.
012.00B.039  Then with new eyes I shall survey thee,'and spie
012.00B.040  Death in thy cheekes, and darknesse in thine eye;
012.00B.041  Though hope breed faith & love: thus taught, I shall
012.00B.042  As nations doe from Rome, from thy love fall.
012.00B.043  My hate shall outgrow thine, and utterly
012.00B.044  I will renounce thy dalliance: and when I
012.00B.045  Am the Recusant, in that resolute state,
012.00B.046  What hurts it mee to be'excommunicate? [CW:ELEG.]
