017.H04.0HE  Elegie:
017.H04.001  Marry, and loue thy Flauia, ffor shee
017.H04.002  hath all thinges whereby others beauteous be
017.H04.003  ffor though her eies be small, her mouth is great
017.H04.004  Though they be Ivorye, yet her teeth are Iett
017.H04.005  Though they be dimme, yet she is light inough
017.H04.006  And though her harsh haire fall, her skinne is rough
017.H04.007  What though her cheekes be yellowe, her haire is red,
017.H04.008  Giue her thine, and she hath a%A maydenhead, 
017.H04.009  Theis thinges are beauties Elements; where theis
017.H04.010  meete in one, that one must as perfect please
017.H04.011  If red, and white, and each good quallitie
017.H04.012  meete in thy wench, ne're ask where itt doth lye,
017.H04.013  In buying thinges perfumd, we aske if there
017.H04.014  be muske, and amber in yt, but not where
017.H04.015  Though all her parts be not in th'vsuall pla%Ace
017.H04.016  She hath yet an Anagram of a good fa%Ace
017.H04.017  If we might put the letters but one waye
017.H04.018  In that leane dea>>r<<th of wordes, what could we saie?
017.H04.019  When by the Gammutt, some Musitians make
017.H04.020  A perfect songe, others will vndertake
017.H04.021  By the same Gam%Mut chaunged to equall it
017.H04.022  Thinges simplie good can neuer be vnfitt; [CW:She'es#faire]
017.H04.023  She'es faire, as anie, if all be like her [17r.]
017.H04.024  And if none be, then she is singular;
017.H04.025  All loue is wonder if we iustly doe
017.H04.026  Accompt her wonderfull, why not louelie too?
017.H04.027  Loue built on beauty soone as beautie dies
017.H04.028  choose this face chaunged by noe deformities
017.H04.029  Women are all like Angells;  The faire be
017.H04.030  Like those that fell to worse, but such as shee
017.H04.031  like to good Angells nothing can impaire
017.H04.032  Tis lesse greife to be fowle, then t'haue bin faire
017.H04.033  ffor one nights Reuells silk, and gould we choose
017.H04.034  But in long iourneyes cloth, and leather vse,
017.H04.035  Beauty is barren oft;  Best husbandes saie
017.H04.036  There is best la%And, where there is fowlest waye
017.H04.037  oh what a Soueraigne plaister will she bee
017.H04.038  If thy past sinnes haue taught thee iealousie
017.H04.039  Heere needes noe spies, nor Eunuches, her com%Mitt
017.H04.040  Safe to thy foes, yea to a%A Marmositt
017.H04.041  When Belgiae's citties the round Countreys drowne
017.H04.042  That durtye fowlenes guardes, and armes the towne
017.H04.043  Soe doth her face guard her, and soe for thee
017.H04.044  w%5ch%6 for'cd by busines, absent oft must be
017.H04.045  She whose face like clowdes turnes the Day to night
017.H04.046  Wh'oe mightier then the sea makes Moores seeme white,
017.H04.047  Who though 7 yeeres she in the Stewes had laid
017.H04.048  A Nunnery durst receiue, and thinke a%A mayde,
017.H04.049  And though in childebirthes labour she did lye
017.H04.050  Midwiues would sweare twere but a%A tympany->>tympanie<
017.H04.051  Whom, if she accuse herselfe I credit lesse
017.H04.052  Then witches w%5ch%6 impossibles confesse.
017.H04.053  Whom dildoes, bedstaues, and her veluet glasse
017.H04.054  would be as loath to touch as Ioseph wa%As [CW:om]
017.H04.055  One like none, and lik'de of none fittest were; [17v.]
