020.B07.001 Who ever loves if he doe not purpose
020.B07.002 The right true end of love; he is one w.%5ch%6 goes
020.B07.003 To Sea for nothinge, but to make him sick
020.B07.004 And love is a Bearewhelpe borne; if wee ouer lick
020.B07.005 Our love, and force it new strange shapes to take,
020.B07.006 Wee err, and of a lump a monstor make.
020.B07.007 Were not a Calfe, a monster that were growne
020.B07.008 ffac'd like a man though better then his owne
020.B07.009 Perfection is in vnitie: Preferr
020.B07.010 One woeman first, and then one thinge in her
020.B07.011 I when I value gould maye thinck vppon
020.B07.012 The Ducktillnes, the application,
020.B07.013 The wholesomnes, the Ingenuitie,
020.B07.014 ffrom rust, from soyle, from fire ever free
020.B07.015 But if I love it, t'is because t'is made
020.B07.016 By our new nature, vse, the soule of trade
020.B07.017 All these in woemen wee might thinck vppon
020.B07.018 (If woemen had them) but yet love but one
020.B07.019 Can men more iniurie woemen then to saye
020.B07.020 They love them for that, by w%5ch%6 they are not they
020.B07.021 Makes vertue woeman? must I coole my bloud,
020.B07.022 Till I both bee, and finde one wise and good
020.B07.023 Maye barren Angells love soe: But if wee
020.B07.024 Make love to woeman, vertue is not shee
020.B07.025 As beauty is not, nor wealth: Hee that strayes thus
020.B07.026 ffrom her to hers, is more Adulterous
020.B07.027 Then if he tooke her maide: Search ever Sf->>Sp<heare
020.B07.028 And firmament, %Yor%Z->>%Vour< Cupid is not there| [CW:Hee|]
020.B07.029 He is an infernall God, and vnder grownd [f.26r
020.B07.030 W%5th%6 Pluto dwells, where gold, and fire abound
020.B07.031 Men to such Godes, their sacrifisinge Coales,
020.B07.032 Did not in Alters laye, but pittes, and holes
020.B07.033 Although wee see Celestiall bodies moove
020.B07.034 Above the earth, the earth wee till, and love:
020.B07.035 So wee her ayres contemplate; wordes, and hart
020.B07.036 And vertues; But wee love the Centrique part
020.B07.037 Nor is the soule more worthy or more fitt
020.B07.038 ffor love, then this, as infinite as it
020.B07.039 But in attayninge this desired place
020.B07.040 How much they stray that sett out at the face
020.B07.041 The haire, a fforrest is of Ambushes
020.B07.042 of Springes, snares, ffetters, and Menacles
020.B07.043 The brow becalmes vs, when tis smooth and plaine
020.B07.044 And when tis wrinckled Shipwrackes vs againe
020.B07.045 Smooth tis as paradice, where wee would have
020.B07.046 Im%Mortall staye, and wrinckled t'is our grave
020.B07.047 The nose like to the first Meridian runns
020.B07.048 Not twixt an East, and West, but twixt two Sunns
020.B07.049 It leaves a Cheeke, a rosie Hemispheare
020.B07.050 On either side, and then directes vs, where
020.B07.051 Vppon the Ilandes fortunate wee fall
020.B07.052 (Not faint Canaries, but Ambrosiall)
020.B07.053 Her swellinge lipps, to w%5ch%6, when wee are come,
020.B07.054 Wee Anchor there, and thinck our selves at home,
020.B07.055 ffor they seeme all:their Syrens songes, and there,
020.B07.056 Wise Delphique Oracles %Ysoe%Z->>%Vdoe< fill the eare
020.B07.057 There, in a Creeke, where chosen Pearles do swell
020.B07.058 The Remora, her cleavinge tonge doth dwell
020.B07.059 These, and the glorious Promontorie; her Chin, [CW:O're past,]
020.B07.060 Ore'past, And the straight Hellespont betweene [f.26v
020.B07.061 The Sestos, and Abidos of her breastes
020.B07.062 Not of two lovers, but of two loves the Neastes

020.B07.069 Thou shalt vppon an other fforrest sett
020.B07.070 Where some doe shipwrack and no further gett
