001.C08.001  Awaie thou fondling motley humorist,
001.C08.002  Leaue me and in this standing wooden chest,
001.C08.003  Comforted with theise fewe bookes, lett me lye,
001.C08.004  In prison, and heere be confin'd when I dye.
001.C08.005  Heere are gods conduitts, graue diuines, and heere,
001.C08.006  Natures Secretarie the Philosopher,
001.C08.007  And iollie statesmen, w%5ch%6 teach howe to tye
001.C08.008  The synewes of a Citties Mustique%>>>Mistique<< bodie,
001.C08.009  Heere gathering Chroniclers, and by them stand,
001.C08.010  Giddie fantastique Poetts of each land.
001.C08.011  Shall I leaue all this constant Companie,
001.C08.012  And followe headlong, wilde vncertaine thee?
001.C08.013  First sweare by thy best loue in earnest,
001.C08.014  (Yf thou which louest all, canst loue anie best)
001.C08.015  Thou wilt not leaue me in the middle street,
001.C08.016  Though some more spruce companion thou dost meet.
001.C08.017  Not though a Captaine doe come in thy waie,
001.C08.018  Bright parcell gilt, with fortie dead mens paie,
001.C08.019  Not though a brisk perfum'd peirt Courtier,
001.C08.020  Deigne with a nod, thy courtesie to answerr. [CW:Nor.|]
001.C08.021  Nor come a veluett Iustice with a long [f.1v]
001.C08.022  Great traine of blewe=coates, i2. or i4 strong.
001.C08.023  Wilt thou grin, or fawne on him, or prepare
001.C08.024  A speech, to court his bewteous sonne and heire?
001.C08.025  For better or worse take me or leaue me,
001.C08.026  To take and leaue me, is adulterie.
001.C08.027  Oh monstrous superstitious Puritan
001.C08.028  Of refin'd manners, yett ceremoniall man
001.C08.029  That when thou meet'st one, with enquiring lyes,%>>>Eyes,<<
001.C08.030  Do'st search, and like a needie Broker prize
001.C08.031  The silk and gould he weares, and to that rate
001.C08.032  Soe high or lowe, do'st raise thy formall hatt:
001.C08.033  That wilt consort none, vntill thou haue knowne
001.C08.034  What lands he hath in hope, or of his owne,
001.C08.035  As though all thy companions, shoold make thee
001.C08.036  Iointures, and marrie thy deere companie.
001.C08.037  Why shooldst thou, that dost not onlie aproue,
001.C08.038  Butt in ranck Itchie lust, desire and loue
001.C08.039  The nakednes, and barrennes to enioye,
001.C08.040  Of thy plump muddie whore, or prostitute boy. [CW:Hate.|]
001.C08.041  Hate Virtue, though shee be naked and bare; [f.2]
001.C08.042  At birth and death our bodies naked are.
001.C08.043  And till our soules be vnapparelled
001.C08.044  Of bodies, they from bliss are banished.
001.C08.045  Mans first blest state, was naked, when by sinne
001.C08.046  He lost that, yett he was cloth'd butt in beasts skinne.
001.C08.047  And in this course attyre which I now weare
001.C08.048  With god, and with the Muses I conferr.
001.C08.049  Butt since thou like a contrite penitent
001.C08.050  Charitablie warn'd of thy sinns, dost repent,
001.C08.051  Theise vanities and giddinesses; loe
001.C08.052  I shutt my chamber doare, and come letts goe.
001.C08.053  Butt sooner maie a cheape whore, that hath bein,
001.C08.054  Worne by as manie seuerall men in sinne
001.C08.055  As are black feathers, or muskculler hose,
001.C08.056  Name hir childs right true father, 'mongst all those.
001.C08.057  Sooner maie one guesse, whoe shall beare awaie,
001.C08.058  The Infant of London, Heire to an India.
001.C08.059  And sooner maie a gulling weather spye
001.C08.060  By drawing forth heauens Sceanes, tell certainlie [CW:Whatt.|][miscatch]
001.C08.061  What fashion'd hatts, or rufs, or suites next yeere [f.2v]
001.C08.062  Our subtile wittied antique youths will weare.
001.C08.063  Then thou, when thou depart'st from me can showe,
001.C08.064  Whither, why, when, or w%5th%6 whome thou woldst goe.
001.C08.065  But how shall I be pardoned myne offence,
001.C08.066  That thus haue sin'd against my conscience.
001.C08.067  Now wee are in the street; He first of all,
001.C08.068  Improuidentlie proud, creepes to the wall,
001.C08.069  And so imprisoned and hem'd in by mee,
001.C08.070  Sells for a little state his libertie.
001.C08.071  Yett though he cannot skip forth now to greet,
001.C08.072  Euerie fine, silken, painted foole wee meet;
001.C08.073  He them to him, with amorous smiles allures,
001.C08.074  And grinns, smacks, shruggs, and such an itch endures,
001.C08.075  As prentices, or schooleboyes, which doe knowe,
001.C08.076  Of some gaie sport abroad, yett dare not goe.
001.C08.077  And as fidlers stop lowest, att highest sounde,
001.C08.078  Soe to the most braue, stoopt he nigh'est the ground
001.C08.079  Butt to a graue man, he dooth mooue no more,
001.C08.080  Then the wise politick horse woold heertofore. [CW:Or.|]
001.C08.081  Or thou O Elephaint or Ape wilt doe, [f.3]
001.C08.082  When anie names the King of Spaine to you.
001.C08.083  Nowe leapes he vpright, ioggs me, and cryes, doe you see,
001.C08.084  Yonder wellfauor'd youth; Which? Oh tis hee,
001.C08.085  That daunces so diuinelie; Oh said I
001.C08.086  Stand still, must you daunce heere for companie?
001.C08.087  He droopt, wee went, till one (which did excell,
001.C08.088  Th'indians, in drincking his Tobacco well,)
001.C08.089  Mett vs, they talk'd; I whispered lett vs goe
001.C08.090  T'may bee you smell him not, trulie I doe.
001.C08.091  He heares not me, butt on the other side,
001.C08.092  A manie couller'd peacock hauing spide,
001.C08.093  Leaues him and mee; I for my lost sheepe staie,
001.C08.094  He followes, ouertaks, goes on the waye.
001.C08.095  Saying, him whome I last left, s'all repute,
001.C08.096  For his deuice in handsoming a suit.
001.C08.097  To iudge of lace, pinck, paines, print, cutt, and pleight,
001.C08.098  Of all the Court, to haue the best conceit,
001.C08.099  Our dull comedians want him, lett him goe,
001.C08.100  Butt oh, god strengthen thee, why stoopst thou soe? [CW:Whie.|][miscatch]
001.C08.101  [%1blank#space%2]>>Why he<< hath trauaild long; noe butt to mee [f.3v]
001.C08.102  Which vnderstand none, he dooth seeme to bee,
001.C08.103  Perfect french, and Italian; I replyed,
001.C08.104  So is the poxe, he answered not, butt spied,
001.C08.105  More men of sort, of parts, of qualityes,
001.C08.106  At last his loue he in a windowe spyes,
001.C08.107  And like light dewe exhal'd, he flings from mee,
001.C08.108  Violentlie rauish't to his lecherie.
001.C08.109  Manie were there, he coold commaund no more,
001.C08.110  He quarreld, fought, bledd, and turn'd out of doore.
001.C08.111  Directlie came to me, hanging the head,
001.C08.112  And constantlie awhile must keep his bedd.|
