016.B13.001  Allthough thy hand, & fayth, & good works too
016.B13.002  Haue seald thy loue w%5ch%6 nothinge should vndoe:
016.B13.003  yea though thou fall back, that Apostasy
016.B13.004  Confirmes thy loue:  yet much, much I fear thee
016.B13.005  woemen are like the arts, forc'd to none
016.B13.006  open to all searchers, vnpriz'd if vnknowne:
016.B13.007  If I haue caught a bird & let him flye
016.B13.008  An other fowler vsinge those meanes as I
016.B13.009  may catch y%5e%6 same bird, & as these thinges be
016.B13.010  woemen are made for man, not him nor me.
016.B13.011  Foxes & Goats all change when they please
016.B13.012  Shall woemen more hot, wyly, wylde then these
016.B13.013  Be bound to one man, & did nature then,
016.B13.014  Idly make them apter to e>%V%M<dure, then men?
016.B13.015  They are our clogs, not their owne:  if a man be
016.B13.016  Chayn'd to a Galley, yet y%5e%6 Galley is free.
016.B13.017  who hath a plow land casts all his seed-corne there
016.B13.018  And yet allowes his ground more corne should beare.
016.B13.019  Though Danuby into the sea must flow,
016.B13.020  The sea receaues Rhene, %YB%Z->>V<olga, >%VTibir< & Po.
016.B13.021  By nature w%5ch%6 gaue it, this Ly-berty
016.B13.022  thou lou'st, but oh, canst thow loue it & me?
016.B13.023  Likenes yildes loue; then if soe thow doe
016.B13.024  to make vs like, & loue must I change too?
016.B13.025  more then thy hate, I hate it:  rather let me
016.B13.026  Allow her change, then change as oft as she
016.B13.027  And soe not teach but fo>%Va<rce my opinion
016.B13.028  To loue not any one, nor euery one:
016.B13.029  To liue in one land is captiuity
016.B13.030  To runne all Countryes a wild roguery:
016.B13.031  waters stinke soone if in one place they byde
016.B13.032  And in the vast sea are woorse putrifyed,
016.B13.033  But when they kisse one banke & leauinge this
016.B13.034  never looke backe, but the next banke doe kisse
016.B13.035  Then are they purest:  Change is the nurcery
016.B13.036  of musick, ioy, ***life, & eternity.|
