015.035.0HE %X%1An Elegie made by J%2. %1D%2.   
015.035.001 COme Maddam come, all stay my powers deny, 
015.035.002 Untill I labour, I in labour ly 
015.035.003 The foe oft-times having the foe in sight, 
015.035.004 Is tir'd with standing, though he never fight: 
015.035.005 Off with your girdle, like heaven's Zone glistering 
015.035.006 But a far fairer World incompasing. 
015.035.007 Unpin that spangled breast-plate which you wear, 
015.035.008 That eyes of busy fools may be stopt there. 
015.035.009 Unlace your self, for that Harmonious chime 
015.035.010 Tell's me from you, that now it is bed-time. 
015.035.011 Off with that happy busk, which I envie, 
015.035.012 That still can be, and still can stand so nie. 
015.035.013 Your gown going off, such beauteous state reveals, 
015.035.014 As when from flowery meads hills shadows steales. 
015.035.015 Off with that wiery Corronet, and show 
015.035.016 The happier diadem, which on you doth grow. 
015.035.017 Off with those shoos, that thou may'st safely tread 
015.035.018 In this (Loves hallowed Temple) this soft bed. 
015.035.019 In such white roabs, heavens Angels use to be 
015.035.020 Receiv'd by men; thou Angels bringst with thee. 
015.035.021 A heavenly %1Mahomets%2 Paradice, and though 
015.035.022 Ill spirits walke in white, wee easily know 
015.035.023 By this, these Angels from an evill sprite, 
015.035.024 They set our hairs, but thse our flesh upright. 
015.035.025 Licence my roving hands, and let them goe 
015.035.026 Behind, before, above, between, belowe. 
015.035.027 O my %1Americka%2! my New-found-Land! 
015.035.028 The Kingdom's safest, when by one man man'd: 
015.035.029 My Mine of precious stones! my Emperie! 
015.035.030 How blest am I in this discovering thee. 
015.035.031 To enter into these bonds, is to be free, 
015.035.032 Then where my hand is set, my seal shall bee; 
015.035.033om
015.035.034 As souls in bodies, bodyes uncloath'd must bee 
015.035.035 To taste these joyes; Those Jems you Women use 
015.035.036 Are as %1Atlanta's%2 Balls cast in mens views, 
015.035.037 That when a fools eye lighteth on a Jem, 
015.035.038 His earthly soul may covet theirs, not them: 
015.035.039 Like Pictures, or like Books gay covering made 
015.035.030 For Lay-men, are all Women thus array'd: 
015.035.041 Themselves are Mistick bodies, which hourly we 
015.035.042 (Whom their imputed grace will dignifie) 
015.035.043 Must see reveal'd: then since that I may know 
015.035.044 (As liberally) as to a Mid-wife show 
015.035.045 Thy self; Cast you all this white Linnen hence, 
015.035.046 There is no Pennance due to Innocence; 
015.035.047 To teach thee, I am naked first; Why than 
015.035.048 Needst thou to have more covering then a man.
