020.SP1.0HE %XElegie. %#%#%#On Loues Progresse|
020.SP1.001 W%+ho euer loues, if hee doe not propose
020.SP1.002 The right true end of loue; Hee's one w%5ch%6 goes
020.SP1.003 To Sea for nothing, but to make him sicke
020.SP1.004 And loue is a Beare whelpe borne, If >%Vwee< ouer lick't,
020.SP1.005 Our loue, and force it new strange Shapes to take
020.SP1.006 Wee erre, and of a lumpe, a Monster make.
020.SP1.007 Were not a Calfe a Monster, that were growen
020.SP1.008 ffac'd like a Man, thoughe better then his owne?
020.SP1.009 Perfection is in Vnitie; Preferre
020.SP1.010 One woaman first, and then one thing in her.
020.SP1.011 I, when I valew Gold maie think vpon
020.SP1.012 The ducktilnes, the Application
020.SP1.013 The wholesomenes, the Ingenuitie
020.SP1.014 ffrom rust, from soyle, from fire eu%5r%6 free
020.SP1.015 But if I love it, t'is because tis made [CW:By]
020.SP1.016 By our new Nature, Vse, the Soule of trade. [f.34r
020.SP1.017 All theis in Weomen wee might think vpon
020.SP1.018 (If weomen had them) but yet love but one.
020.SP1.019 Can Men more iniure Weomen then to saye,
020.SP1.020 They loue them for that, by w%5ch%6 they are not they?
020.SP1.021 Make Vertue woaman? Must I coole my blood,
020.SP1.022 Till I both bee, and find one wise, and good?
020.SP1.023 Maye barren Angells love soe; But if wee
020.SP1.024 Make loue to Woaman; Vertue is not Shee.
020.SP1.025 As Beawtie is not, nor wealth; Hee that straies thus
020.SP1.026 ffrom her to hers, is more adulterous,
020.SP1.027 Then if hee tooke her Mayd.  Search euerie Sphae%Lre
020.SP1.028 And firmament, our Cupid is not there.
020.SP1.029 Hee is an infernall God, and vnder ground
020.SP1.030 With Pluto dwelles, where Gold, and fire abound.
020.SP1.031 Men to such Gods, their sacrafizing Coales
020.SP1.032 Did not in Altars laye, but Pittes, and hoales.
020.SP1.033 Although wee see celestiall Bodies move
020.SP1.034 Aboue >%Vthe Earth:< the Earth, wee till, and love.
020.SP1.035 Soe wee her Aires contemplate, wordes, and hart
020.SP1.036 And Vertues; but wee loue the Centrique Part.
020.SP1.037 Nor is the Soule more worthie, or more fitt
020.SP1.038 ffor love then this, as infinitt as yt; [CW:But]
020.SP1.039 But in attayning this desired Place, [f.34v
020.SP1.040 How much they straye, that sett out at the face.
020.SP1.041 The haire a forrest is of Ambushes,
020.SP1.042 Of springes, snares, fetters, and Manacles.
020.SP1.043 The Browe becalmes Vs, when tis smooth, and plaine,
020.SP1.044 And when tis wrinckled, shipwrackes vs againe.
020.SP1.045 Smooth! tis a Paradice, where wee would haue
020.SP1.046 Immortall staie, and wrinckled! tis our Graue.
020.SP1.047 The Nose like to the first Meridian runnes,
020.SP1.048 Not twixt an East, and West, but twixt two Sonnes.
020.SP1.049 It leaves a Cheeke, a rosie Hemisphere
020.SP1.050 On either side, and then directs vs, where
020.SP1.051 Vpon the Islands fortunate wee fall
020.SP1.052 (Not faint Canarie, but Ambrosia all)
020.SP1.053 Her swelling lippes: To which when wee are come
020.SP1.054 Wee anchor then, and think our selves at home:
020.SP1.055 ffor they seeme all; There Syrens Songes, and there
020.SP1.056 Wise Delphick oracles doe fill the Eare.
020.SP1.057 There in a Creeke, where chosen Pearles doe swell
020.SP1.058 The Rhemora her cleaving Toung doth dwell.
020.SP1.059 These, and the glorious Promontorie, her Chinne
020.SP1.060 Orepast: And the streight Hellespont betweene
020.SP1.061 The Sestos, and Abydos of her Brestes, [CW:Not]
020.SP1.062 Not of two louers, but two loues the Nestes, [f.35r
020.SP1.063 Succeedes a boundles Sea, but that thine Eie
020.SP1.064 Some Island Moles maie scattered there discrie.
020.SP1.065 And sayling towards her India in that waie
020.SP1.066 Shall at her faire Atlantique Nauell staie.
020.SP1.067 Thoughe thence the Currant bee thy Pylott made
020.SP1.068 Yet ere thou bee, where thou wouldst bee imbaide
020.SP1.069 Thou shalt vpon an other fforrest sett
020.SP1.070 Where some doe shipwrack, and noe further gett.
020.SP1.071 When thou art there, consider what this Chace
020.SP1.072 Mispent, by thy beginning at the face.
020.SP1.073 Rather sett out belowe; Practize my Art
020.SP1.074 Some Symmetrie the foote hath with that Part
020.SP1.075 Which thou dost seeke, and is thy Mappe for that
020.SP1.076 Louelie enough to stopp, but not staye, at.
020.SP1.077 Least subiect to disguise, and chang it is
020.SP1.078 Men say, the Deuill neuer can chang his.
020.SP1.079 It is the Emblem, w%5ch%6 hath figured
020.SP1.080 Firmnes: Tis the first part, that comes to bedd.
020.SP1.081 Civilitie, (wee see) refin'd the Kisse
020.SP1.082 Which at the face begunne, transplanted is
020.SP1.083 Since to the hand, since to'th Imperiall %Yfoote%Z#Knee
020.SP1.084 Now at the Papall foote delights to bee.
020.SP1.085 If Kinges thinke that the nearer waye, and doe [CW:Rise]
020.SP1.086 Rise from the foote, Louers may doe so too. [f.35v
020.SP1.087 ffor as free Sphae%Lres move faster farr, then can
020.SP1.088 Byrdes, when the Ayre resistes: Soe may that Man
020.SP1.089 Which goes this emptie, and ae%Ltheriall waie
020.SP1.090 Then if at Beauties Elements hee staie.
020.SP1.091 Rich Nature hath in Woaman wiselie made
020.SP1.092 Two Purses, and their Mouthes auerslie laide.
020.SP1.093 They then which to the lower, Tribute owe
020.SP1.094 That waie, which that Exchequor lookes, must goe.
020.SP1.095 Hee w%5ch%6 doth not, his Error is as great
020.SP1.096 As who by Clyster gaue the Stomach Meate.|
