014.B32.001  Till I haue Peace with Thee, warr other men
014.B32.002  And when I haue Peace, can I leaue thee then?
014.B32.003  All other warrs are scrupulous; Onlye thou
014.B32.004  O fayre free Cittye, mayst thy selfe allowe
014.B32.005  To anye One.  In Flanders who can tell,
014.B32.006  Wheather the Mayster presse, or men rebell?
014.B32.007  Onelye wee knowe, that w%5ch%6 all Ideotts say,
014.B32.008  They beare most blowes; which comes to part the fray;
014.B32.009  France in her lunatique giddines did hate.
014.B32.010  Ever our men, yea and our God of late.
014.B32.011  Yett she relyes vpon our Angells well,
014.B32.012  Which nere retorne; No more then they w%5ch%6 fell.
014.B32.013  Sicke Ireland is with a strange warr possest,
014.B32.014  Like to an ague, now rageing, now at rest,
014.B32.015  Which tyme will cure: yett it must doe her good,
014.B32.016  If shee weare purg'd, and her head vayne lett blood.
014.B32.017  And Midas ioyes our spanish iorneyes giues,
014.B32.018  Wee touch all Gold, but finde noe foode to liue.
014.B32.019  And I should bee in the hott parching clyme
014.B32.020  To Dust, and Ashes turn'd before my tyme.
014.B32.021  To mewe mee in a ship, is to enthrall
014.B32.022  Mee in a Prison, that weare like to fall. /%YOr#in#a#Prison,#that#weare#like#t%Z
014.B32.023  Or in a Cloyster, saue that there men dwell
014.B32.024  In a Calme heauen, here in a swaggering Hell. [CW:om]
014.B32.025  Longe Voyages are longe Consumptions, [100]
014.B32.026  And ships are Carts for Executions;
014.B32.027  Yea they are Deaths; ist not all one to flye,
014.B32.028  Into another world, as tis doe dye?
014.B32.029  Here lett me warr; In these Armes lett me lye,
014.B32.030  Here lett me parlee, batter, bleede, & dye.
014.B32.031  Thy Armes imprison mee, and my Armes Thee,
014.B32.032  Thy Hart, thy ransome is, take myne for mee.
014.B32.033  Other men warr, that they theyre rest may gayne,
014.B32.034  But wee will rest; that wee may fight againe.
014.B32.035  Those warrs the Ignorant, these th'experienc'd love.
014.B32.036  There wee are allwayes vnder, here aboue.
014.B32.037  There engynes farre of breed a iust true feare,
014.B32.038  Neere thrusts, Pikes, stabs, yea bulletts hurt not here.
014.B32.039  There lyes are wronges; here safe vprightlye lye,
014.B32.040  There men kill men, wee will make one by. & bye.
014.B32.041  Thou Nothing; I not halfe so much shall doe
014.B32.042  In these warrs, as they may which from vs two
014.B32.043  Shall spring.  Thouzands we see, which trauayle nott
014.B32.044  To warrs; But stay swordes, Armes, and shott
014.B32.045  To make at home; And shall not I doe then?
014.B32.046  More glorious seruice, stayinge to make men?
