017.C08.0HE  Elegie. 4%5th%6.|
017.C08.001  Marrie, and loue thy Flauia, for shee
017.C08.002  Hath all things, wherby, others bewteous bee,
017.C08.003  ffor though her eyes be smalle, her mouth is great,
017.C08.004  Though they be Iuorie, yett her teeth be Ieatt.
017.C08.005  Though they be dimme, yett shee is light enough,
017.C08.006  And though her harsh haire fall, hir skinn is rough;
017.C08.007  What though hir cheekes be yellowe, her haire is redd.
017.C08.008  Giue hir thine, and shee hath a maidenhead.
017.C08.009  Theise things are bewties elements, where these
017.C08.010  Meet in one, that one must as perfect please.
017.C08.011  If red and white, and each good qualitie
017.C08.012  Be in thy wench, nere ask where itt dooth lye.
017.C08.013  In buying things perfumd, wee aske if there
017.C08.014  Bee musk and amber in itt, butt not where. [CW:Though-|]
017.C08.015  Though all hir parts be not in the vsuall place, [23v]
017.C08.016  Shee hath yett an Anagram of a good face.
017.C08.017  If we might putt the letters, butt one waye,
017.C08.018  In the leane dearth of letters, what cold we say?
017.C08.019  When by the Gamut, some musitions make
017.C08.020  A perfect song, others will vndertake
017.C08.021  By the same Gamut chang'd to equall itt.
017.C08.022  Things simplie good, can neuer be vnfitt;
017.C08.023  Shee is as faire as anie, if all be like her,
017.C08.024  And if none be, then shee is singular.
017.C08.025  All loue is wonder, if wee iustlie doe
017.C08.026  Accompt hir wonderfull, why not louelie tooe?
017.C08.027  Loue built on bewtie, soone as bewtie dyes,
017.C08.028  Chuse this face chang'd by no deformities;
017.C08.029  Weomen are all like Angells; The faire be
017.C08.030  Like those which fell to worse; Butt such as shee
017.C08.031  Like to good Angells, nothing can impaire:
017.C08.032  Tis' lesse greife to be foule, then to haue bein faire
017.C08.033  ffor one nights reuells, silke and golde wee chuse,
017.C08.034  Butt in long iorneis, cloth and leather vse. [CW:Bewtie-|]
017.C08.035  Bewtie is baren oft; best h>>%Yo%Z<<usbands say [24r]
017.C08.036  The>>re<< is best land, when there is fowlest waye.
017.C08.037  Oh what a soueraigne plaister will shee be,
017.C08.038  If thy past sinns haue taught thee Jealozie.
017.C08.039  Heere needs no spies, nor Eunuches: Her committ
017.C08.040  Safe to thy foes; yea to a Marmosett.
017.C08.041  When Belgeas Citties, the round Countries drowne,
017.C08.042  That durtie fowlnes guards and armes the towne.
017.C08.043  So dooth her face guard her; And so for thee
017.C08.044  Which forc'd by busines, absent oft must bee,
017.C08.045  Shee, whose face, like clowdes, turns the day to night
017.C08.046  Whoe mightier then the Sea, makes Moores seeme white.
017.C08.047  Whoe though seauen yeers, shee in the stewes had layd,
017.C08.048  A Nunnerie durst receaue, and thinck a maide.
017.C08.049  And though in childbeds labour she did lye,
017.C08.050  Midwifes would swear, twe'are butt a tympanye.
017.C08.051  Whome if shee accuse hir self, I creditt lesse
017.C08.052  Then witches, w%5ch%6 impossibles confes.
017.C08.053  Whome Dildoes, bedstaues, and her veluett glasse
017.C08.054  Woulde be as loath to touch as Joseph was. [CW:One-|]
017.C08.055  One like none, and lik'd of none, fittest were, [24v]
017.C08.056  ffor things in fashion euerie man will weare.
