020.035.0HE  %1Loves Progress by Dr%2. Don. 
020.035.001  W%+Ho ever lov'd, if he do not propose 
020.035.002  The right end, love, he is as one that goes 
020.035.003  To Sea for nothing but to make him sick, 
020.035.004  And loves a Bear-whelp born, if we o're-lick 
020.035.005  Our love, and force it strange new shapes to take, 
020.035.006  We erre, and of a lump a Monster make. 
020.035.007  Were not a Calf a monster if't were grown, 
020.035.008  Fac'd like a man, though better then his own; 
020.035.009  Perfection is in unity, prefer 
020.035.020  One woman first, and then one thing in her: 
020.035.011  Or when I value gold, I think upon 
020.035.012  The ductilness, the application, 
020.035.013  The whole summes, the ingenuity, 
020.035.014  From rust, from soyl, from fire ever free; 
020.035.015  But if I love, it is because 'tis made 
020.035.016  By our new Natures use, the soul of Trade; 
020.035.017  All this in women we might think upon, 
020.035.018  If women have them, and yet love but one: 
020.035.019  Can men more injure women then to say,
020.035.020  They love them for that by which they are not they
020.035.021  Make Vertue woman, must I cool my blood, 
020.035.022  Till I both be and find one wise and good? 
020.035.023  May barren Angels love so, but if we 
020.035.024  Make love to woman, vertue is not she, [cw:As]
020.035.025  As beauty is not, he then that strayes thus, [37]
020.035.026  From her to hers, is more adulterous 
020.035.027  Then he that takes her maid, search every sphear, 
020.035.028  And Firmament, our %1Cupid%2 is not there, 
020.035.029  He's an infernal god, and under ground 
020.035.030  With %1Pluto%2 dwels, where gold and fire abound, 
020.035.031  Men to such gods their sacrificing coales 
020.035.032  Did not on Altars lay, but pits and holes; 
020.035.033  Although we see celestial bodies move 
020.035.034  Above the earth, the earth we till and love; 
020.035.035  So we his heirs contemplate, wounds and heart, 
020.035.036  And vertues, but we love the rendring part; 
020.035.037  Nor is the soul more swarthy, nor more fit 
020.035.038  For love then this, as infinite as it, 
020.035.039  But in attaining this desired place, 
020.035.040  How much they stray that set out at the face, 
020.035.041  The hair a forest is of Ambushes, 
020.035.042  Of springs, snares, fetters, and of manicles: 
020.035.043  The brow becalmes us when 'tis smooth & plain 
020.035.044  And when it wrinckles, shipwracks us again, 
020.035.045  Smooth, 'tis a Paradise, where we would have 
020.035.046  Immortall stay, and wrinckled 'tis our grave. 
020.035.047  The nose like to the first Meridian runs, 
020.035.048  Not 'twixt the East & West, but 'twixt two Suns:

020.035.053  Her swelling lips, to which when we are come, 
020.035.054  We Anchor there, and think we are at home, 
020.035.055  For they seem all the Syrens songs, and there 
020.035.056  The Delphian Oracles do fill the eare: 
020.035.057  Then in a creek where chosen pearls do swell, 
020.035.058  The %1Remora%2 her charming tongue doth dwell; [cw:These]
020.035.059  These and the glorious promontory her chin [38]
020.035.060  O're-past, and the straight Hellespont between 
020.035.061  The %1Cestos%2 and %1Abidos%2 of her breasts, 
020.035.062  Not of two Lovers, but two loves the nests, 
020.035.063  Succeeds a boundless Sea, but that thine eye 
020.035.064  Some Iland Moles may scatter'd there discry, 
020.035.065  And sayling towards her India, in the way, 
020.035.066  Shall at her fair Atlantick navel stay; 
020.035.067  Though thence the current be thy Pilot made, 
020.035.068  Yet ere thou come where thou wouldst be in-laid 
020.035.069  Thou shalt upon another Forrest set, 
020.035.070  Where some do shipwrack and no further get, 
020.035.071  When thou art there, consider in this Chase, 
020.035.072  What time they lose that set out at the face; 
020.035.073  Rather set out below, practise my Art, 
020.035.074  Some symitry the foot hath with that part, 
020.035.075  Which thou dost seek, and is a Map for that, 
020.035.076  Lovely enough to stop, but not stay at; 
020.035.077  Least subject to disguise and change it is, 
020.035.078  Men say the Devil never can change his; 
020.035.079  It is the Embleme that hath figured 
020.035.080  Firmness, 'tis the first part that comes to bed; 
020.035.081  Civility we see refin'd the kiss, 
020.035.082  Which at the foot began, transplanted is 
020.035.083  Since to the hand, then to the imperial knee, 
020.035.084  Now at the Papal foot delights to be; 
020.035.085  If Kings think it the nearest way, and do 
020.035.086  Rise from the foot, Lovers may do so too, 
020.035.087  And as free Sphears move faster far then can 
020.035.088  Birds whom the ayre resists, so may that man [cw:Which]
020.035.089  Which goes this empty and ae%Ltherial way, [39]
020.035.090  Then if at beauties Elements he stay: 
020.035.091  Rich Nature hath in women wisely made 
020.035.092  Two purses, and their %1mouthes%2 aversly laid, 
020.035.093  They then that to the lower tribute owe, 
020.035.094  That way which that Exchequer looks must goe, 
020.035.095  He which doth not, his errour is as great, 
020.035.095  As who by Clysters gives the stomack meat.
