024.O21.001  Where is that hot fire w%5ch%6 verse is sayd
024.O21.002  to haue; is y%5t%6 inchanting force decayd
024.O21.003  Verse that drawes natures worke from natures law
024.O21.004  y%5ee%6 her best worke; to her worke cannot drawe.
024.O21.005  haue my teares quencht my old poetike fire
024.O21.006  Why quench they not as well y%5t%6 of desire
024.O21.007  thoughts my minds creatures, often are w%5th%6 thee
024.O21.008  but >oh< their maker wants that liberty
024.O21.009  onely thy image in my hart doth sitt
024.O21.010  but it is wax and fire invirons it,
024.O21.011  my fires haue %Yde%Zdriue%M, thine haue drawne it hence. [CW:om]
024.O21.012  & I am robd, of Picture, hart, & sence, [112]
024.O21.013  Dwells w%5th%6 mee still, my irksome memory
024.O21.014  w%5ch%6 both to keep and loose grieues equally
024.O21.015  y%5t%6 tels mee how fair thou art; so fair
024.O21.016  as gods; when gods to thee I doe compare
024.O21.017  are grac't thereby: & to make blind men see
024.O21.018  what things gods are, I say they are like thee.
024.O21.019  For if wee iustly call each silly man
024.O21.020  a little world what shall wee call thee than
024.O21.021  thou art not soft, and clear; & straight & fair
024.O21.022  as downes, and starrs and Lillyes are.
024.O21.023  But thy right hand; & cheeke; and eye; onely
024.O21.024  Is like thy other hand and cheeke and Eye
024.O21.025  Such was my %1Phao%2 a while but shalbe neuer
024.O21.026  as thou wast; art, and oh shalt bee for euer
024.O21.027  here louers sweare in their Idolatry
024.O21.028  y%5t%6 I am such but greefe discouers mee
024.O21.029  & yett I greeue the lesse; least greefe remoue
024.O21.030  my beauty & make mee vnworthy of thy loue
