012.O21.0HE  Elegie.
012.O21.001  Oh let me not serue >%Vso< as those men serue
012.O21.002  whome honnors smoake at once flatter; & sterue
012.O21.003  poorely enricht w%5th%6 great mens wordes & lookes
012.021.004om
012.O21.005  as those Idolatrous flatterers w%5c%6 still
012.O21.006  their princes stiles w%5th%6 many realmes fulfill.
012.O21.007  where they not tribute haue; and where %Ywe%Z#>no< sway,
012.O21.008  Such seruices I offer as shall pay %Ythem#selues%Z
012.O21.009  themselues; I hate dead names; Oh then let mee
012.O21.010  ffauoritt in ordinary or not fauoritt bee.
012.O21.011  When mine owne body was in mine owne body sheath'd
012.O21.012  nor yet my breath betroth'd; nor kisses breath'd
012.O21.013  into my purgatory faythlesse thee;
012.O21.014  thy hart seem'd wax; and steele thy constancy;
012.O21.015  So carelesse flowers; strow'd on the waters face,
012.O21.016  the Curled whirlepooles; sucke; smacke & embrace,
012.O21.017  Yet drowne y%M; so the Tap%Ps beamy eye
012.O21.018  amourously twinckling; beckens the giddy fly.
012.O21.019  Yet burnes his wings; and such the diuell is
012.O21.020  scarce viseting those; who are entirely his
012.O21.021  when I behold a streame w%5c%6 fro%M y%5e%6 spring
012.O21.022  doth w%5th%6 doubtfull melodious murmuring
012.O21.023  or in a speechlesse slumber calmely ride
012.O21.024  her wedded channels bosome and there Chide [CW:om]
012.O21.025  And bend her browes and swell if any bowe [47]
012.O21.026  or but stoope downe to kisse her vtmost browe
012.O21.027  But if her often gnawing kisses winn
012.O21.028  y%5e%6 traitrous bankes to gape and lett her in
012.O21.029  she rusheth violently and doth diuorce,
012.O21.030  her from her natiue; & her long kept course.
012.O21.031  & rores and braues it and in gallant scorne.
012.O21.032  in fflattring Eddies p%Pmiseing retorne.
012.O21.033  shee flowtes, her channell who thenceforth is dry
012.O21.034  y%5n%6 say I that; this; is shee; and that; am I;
012.O21.035  But let not thy deepe bitternesse forgett
012.O21.036  carelesse despaire in mee; for that will whet
012.O21.037  my mynd to scorne; & so loue dul'd w%5th%6 paine
012.O21.038  was nere so wise; or wel-arm'd as disdaine.
012.O21.039  then w%5th%6 new Eyes; I shall Suruay thee and spy
012.O21.040  death in thy cheekes and darknesse in thine Eye
012.O21.041  Though hope breed fayth & loue; thus taught I shall.
012.O21.042  as nations doe from Rome from thy loue fall.
012.O21.043  My hate shall oregrow thine; & vtterly
012.O21.044  I will renounce thy dalliance; & when I, 
012.O21.045  am the recusant; in that desp%Pate state
012.O21.046  what hurtes it mee to bee Excommunicate;
