020.H06.0HE  >>P.<<  Elegie 13. /Loues Progresse.|
020.H06.001  Who ever loues, >%Vif< hee doe not propose
020.H06.002  The right true end of loue, hee's one that goes
020.H06.003  To sea for nothing but to make him sick
020.H06.004  And Loue's a beare whelpe borne, if w'ouerlick
020.H06.005  Our Loue, and force it new strange shapes to take
020.H06.006  Wee erre, and of a lump a monster make.
020.H06.007  Were not a calfe a Monster that were growne
020.H06.008  ffac'd like a man, though better then his owne!
020.H06.009  Perfection is in vnity, preferre
020.H06.010  One woman first, and then one thing in her.
020.H06.011  I when I valew gold, may thinke vpon
020.H06.012  The ductilnesse, the Application
020.H06.013  the wholesomnesse, the Ingenuity
020.H06.014  ffrom dust->>rust<, from soyle, >%Vfrom< >%Vfire< for ever free.
020.H06.015  But if I loue it, tis because tis made
020.H06.016  By our new Nature vse the soule of Trade.  [CW:All--]
020.H06.017  All these in woemen wee might thinke vpon [70v]
020.H06.018  If woemen had them, but yet loue but one.
020.H06.019  Can men more in**e->>iniure< woemen, then to say
020.H06.020  They loue for that by w.%5ch%6 they are not they?
020.H06.021  Makes vertue woman? must I coole my bloud
020.H06.022  Till I bothe bee and find one wise and good?
020.H06.023  May barren Angels loue so, but if wee
020.H06.024  Make Loue to woman, vertew is not shee
020.H06.025  As %Yriches%Zbeauty is not, nor wealth.  Hee that strayes /(thus
020.H06.026  ffrom her to hers, is more adulterous
020.H06.027  Then hee that tooke her mayd;  Search ev%5r%6y spheare
020.H06.028  And firmament, our Cupid is not there
020.H06.029  Hee's an infernall God, and vnder ground
020.H06.030  With Pluto dwells, where Gold and fire abound.
020.H06.031  Men to such Gods theyr sacrifizing coles
020.H06.032  Did not on Altars lay but Pitts and holes.
020.H06.033  Although wee see celestiall bodyes moue
020.H06.034  Aboue the earth, the earth wee till and loue:
020.H06.035  So wee ar Ayres /contemplate/, words and Hart
020.H06.036  And virtues, but wee /loue/ the centrique part.
020.H06.037  Nor is the soule more worthy or more fitt
020.H06.038  ffor Loue then this, as infinite as it.
020.H06.039  But in attayning this desired place
020.H06.040  How much they stray that set out at the face?
020.H06.041  The hayre a forrest is of Ambushes
020.H06.042  Of Springes, snares, fetters and manacles.
020.H06.043  The browe becalmes vs when tis smooth and playne
020.H06.044  And when tis wrinkled shipwracks vs agayne
020.H06.045  Smooth, tis a Paradise, where wee would haue
020.H06.046  Im%Mortall stay, and, wrinkled, tis our Graue [CW:The#nose--]
020.H06.047  The nose like to the first Meridian runns [71r]
020.H06.048  Not t'wixt an East and West, but twixt 2 Sunnes
020.H06.049  It leaues a cheeke, a rosy Hemisphere
020.H06.050  On eyther side, and then directs vs where
020.H06.051  Vpon the Islands fortunate wee fall
020.H06.052  Not faynt Canaryes, but Ambrosiall
020.H06.053  Her swelling lipps, to w.%5ch%6 when wee ar come
020.H06.054  Wee anchor there, and thinke our selues at home
020.H06.055  ffor they seeme all, There Syren songs, and there
020.H06.056  Wise Delphique Oracles do fill the eare,
020.H06.057  There in a Creeke where chosen Pearles do swell
020.H06.058  The Remora her cleauing tongue doth dwell
020.H06.059  That and the Glorious Promontory, her chin
020.H06.060  Or'epast, and the strayt Hellespont betweene
020.H06.061  The Sestos and Abidas->>Abidus< of hir brests
020.H06.062  Not of two Louers but two loues the nests
020.H06.063  Succeeds a boundlesse Sea, but that thine eye
020.H06.064  Some %Yscatterd%Z>%VIsland< moles may scatterd there descry.
020.H06.065  And sayling towards her India, in that way
020.H06.066  Shalt at her fayre Atlantique navell stay.
020.H06.067  Though thence the Current bee thy pilot made
020.H06.068  Yet ere thou bee where thou wouldst bee imbayd
020.H06.069  Thou shalt vpon another forrest sett
020.H06.070  Where many shipwrack and no farther get
020.H06.071  When thou art there, consider what's this chase
020.H06.072  Mispent by thy beginning at the face. [CW:Rather]
020.H06.073  Rather set out below, practise my Art:. [71v]
020.H06.074  Some symetry the foote hath with that part
020.H06.075  Which thou dost seeke, and is >%Vas< mapp for that
020.H06.076  Louely enough to stopp, but not stay at
020.H06.077  Least subiect to desguise, and change it is
020.H06.078  Men say the Deuill never can change his.
020.H06.079  It is the Embleme that hath figured
020.H06.080  ffirmnesse, tis the first part w.%5ch%6 comes to bedd.
020.H06.081  Ciuility wee see refind, the kisse
020.H06.082  W.%5ch%6 at the face began, transplanted is
020.H06.083  Since to the hand, since to th'Imperiall knee
020.H06.084  Now at the Papall foote delights to bee.
020.H06.085  If Kings thinke that the neerer way, and doe
020.H06.086  Rise from the foote, louers may do so too
020.H06.087  ffor as free Spheares, moue faster farr then can
020.H06.088  Birds whome the Ayre resists, so may that Man
020.H06.089  W.%5ch%6 goes this empty, and ae%Lthereall way
020.H06.090  Then if at beautyes Elements hee stay.
020.H06.091  Rich Nature hath in woemen wisely made
020.H06.092  Two purses, and theyr mouths aversely layd
020.H06.093  They then w.%5ch%6 to the lower tribute owe
020.H06.094  That way w.%5ch%6 that Excheq%5r%6 lookes must goe.
020.H06.095  Who doth not so, his errour is as greate
020.H06.096  As who by Clister giues the Stomach meate.
