013.O20.001  Natures lay Ideott, I taught Thee to loue,
013.O20.002  And in that Sophistree; Oh Thou dost proue
013.O20.003  Too subtile; Foole, Thou didst not vnderstand
013.O20.004  The Mistique language of the Eye, nor hand:
013.O20.005  Nor coldst Thou Iudge the Difference of the Ayre
013.O20.006  Of Sighes, and say, Thys lyes, thys sounds Despayre.
013.O20.007  Nor by the Eyes Water call a Maladye
013.O20.008  Desperately hott, or changing feuerously.
013.O20.009  I had taught Thee then, the Alphabett
013.O20.010  Of flowers, how they devisefully beeing sett [CW:om]
013.O20.011  And bound vp, might w%5th%6 speechles secrecye [f.22v]
013.O20.012  Deliuer Arrands, mutely, and mutually;
013.O20.013  Remember since all thy wordes vsd to bee
013.O20.014  To Euery Sutor, I, if my frindes agree;
013.O20.015  Since household charmes, thy husbands name to teach,
013.O20.016  Were all the loue trickes, that thy witt cold reach.
013.O20.017  And since an howers discourse cold scarce haue made
013.O20.018  One Answeare in Thee, and that ill array'd
013.O20.019  In broken Proverbs, and torne Sentences.
013.O20.020  Thou art not by so many dutyes hys,
013.O20.021  That from the worlds common having seuer'd Thee
013.O20.022  Inlayde Thee, neyther to be seene, nor see
013.O20.023  As mine; w%5ch%6 haue w%5th%6 amorous delicacyes
013.O20.024  Refind Thee into a blissfull Paradice.
013.O20.025  Thy Graces and good workes my Creatures bee
013.O20.026  I planted knowledge, and lyfes tree in Thee,
013.O20.027  W%5ch%6 oh, shall Strangers tast?  Must I Alas
013.O20.028  Frame, and enamell Plate, and drincke in Glasse?
013.O20.029  Chafe Waxe for others Seales.  Breake a Colts force,
013.O20.030  And leaue him then, beeing made a ready Horse.
