017.NP1.HE1 %X%1The praise of an old Woman%2.
017.NP1.001 Marry and love thy %1Flavia%2, for Shee
017.NP1.002 Hath all things wherewith others beauteous bee.
017.NP1.003 What though her Eies bee small->>Small<, her Mouth is great->>Great<,
017.NP1.004 Her Lipps though Ivory, yet her Teeth are Jett:
017.NP1.005 Though they->>They< bee dimme->>Dimme<, yet there is Light enough,
017.NP1.006 And though her harsh->>Harsh< Haire fall, her Skinne is rough->>Rough<.
017.NP1.007 Though Yellow bee her Cheeks, her Haire is Redd;
017.NP1.008 Give her thine, and Shee hath a Maidenhead:
017.NP1.009 These things are Beauties Elements, where these
017.NP1.010 Do meete in one, they must (as profitt(%1Var%2:>%5perfect%6<)) please.
017.NP1.011 If White and Redd, and each good Quality
017.NP1.012 Bee in thy Wench, ne're aske where itt doth ly;
017.NP1.013 In buying things perfum'd, wee aske if there
017.NP1.014 Bee Muske or Amber in itt, but not why->>where<:
017.NP1.015 Though all her parts bee not i'th'usuall place,
017.NP1.016 Yet shee hath an %1Anagramme%2 of a good face.
017.NP1.017 If wee might putt the letters but one way,
017.NP1.018 In that leane dearth of words what should wee say.
017.NP1.019 When by the %1Gam%Mut%2 some Musitians make
017.NP1.020 A perfect Song, others will undertake
017.NP1.021 By the same %1Gam%Mut%2 chang'd to equall itt:
017.NP1.022 Things simply good can never bee unfitt.
017.NP1.023 %YS%Z Shee is as faire as any, were all like her; [p.113
017.NP1.024 And if none bee like, Shee is singular.
017.NP1.025 All Love is Wonderfull; if wee justly do
017.NP1.026 Account Her Wonderfull, why not Lovely too?
017.NP1.027 Love built on Beauty, soone (as %Y(%Z Beauty) dies; 
017.NP1.028 Chuse this face changd by no deformities.
017.NP1.029 Women are all like Angells, they faire bee
017.NP1.030 Like those y%5t%6 fell to worse; but such as shee
017.NP1.031 Like to good Angells nothing can impaire,
017.NP1.032 'Tis lesse greife to bee fowle, then to have beene faire.
017.NP1.033 Beauty is barren oft; Best Husbands say,
017.NP1.034 There is best land where is the foulest way:
017.NP1.035 For ohe->>one< Nights Revells Silke and Gold wee chuse,
017.NP1.036 But for long journeis Cloth and Leather use.
017.NP1.037 Oh what a soveraigne plaister would shee bee,
017.NP1.038 If thy past sinnes have taught thee Iealousy;
017.NP1.039 Here need no Spies, no Eunuchs: her com%Mitt
017.NP1.040 Safe to thy foe, I to a Marmasett.
017.NP1.041 When %1Belgia%2 Seas Low-Country Cities drowne,
017.NP1.042 That durty fowlenes guards and armes a Towne;
017.NP1.043 So doth her face guard her: and so for thee,
017.NP1.044 Who (forst by busines) absent oft must bee.
017.NP1.045 Shee in whose face the Clowds turne Day to Night,
017.NP1.046 Who mightier then Seas makes Moores seeme white;
017.NP1.047 Whom (though seven years Shee in the Stewes hath laid)
017.NP1.048 A Nunnery durst receive, and thinke a Maid;
017.NP1.049 And though in Child-Births labour Shee did ly,
017.NP1.050 Midwives would sweare 'twere but a Timpany.
017.NP1.051 Whom (if Shee accuse her selfe) I'de creditt lesse,
017.NP1.052 Then Witches that impossible confesse;
017.NP1.053 Whom Dildo, Bedstaffe, or a Velvett Glasse,
017.NP1.054 Would bee as loath to touch, as %1Ioseph%2 was:
017.NP1.055 One like none; and like't of none, fittest were,
017.NP1.056 For things in fashion every one will weare.

            the /S/; line 28 written beside l. 27, & l. 30 written beside l. 29 
            by scribe; all changes are scribal; hard to tell if ll. 28 & 30

            exemplar and he inserted them later--ink is same as original trans;
