015.O20.0HE  Elegye.
015.O20.001  Come, Madame, come, All rest my Powers defye
015.O20.002  Vntill I labor, I in labor lye;
015.O20.003  The foe oft times, hauing the foe in sight,
015.O20.004  Is tyr'd w%5th%6 standing, though they neuer fight.
015.O20.005  Of w%5th%6 that Girdle, like heauens zone glistering,
015.O20.006  But a farr fairer worlde encompassing.
015.O20.007  Vnpin that Spangled brestplate, w%5ch%6 you weare
015.O20.008  That >%Vthe< Eyes of busy fooles may be stopt there.
015.O20.009  Vnlace yourselfe: for that harmonious chyme
015.O20.010  Tells mee from you, that now tis your bed tyme.
015.O20.011  Of w%5th%6 that happie buske, whom I envy,
015.O20.012  That still can bee, and still can stand so nigh.
015.O20.013  Your gowne's goeing of, such beauteous state reueales,
015.O20.014  As when from flowry Meades, th'hills shadowe steales. [CW:om]
015.O20.015  Of w%5th%6 your wirye Coronett, and showe [14bv/18v]
015.O20.016  The hairy Diademe, w%5ch%6 on you doth growe.
015.O20.017  Of w%5th%6 these Shoes, and then softly tread
015.O20.018  In thys loues halowed Temple; thys soft bed.
015.O20.019  In such whyte robes, heauens Angells vs'd to bee,
015.O20.020  Receaud by men: Thou Angell bringst w%5th%6 Thee
015.O20.021  A heauen like Mahometts Paradice, and though
015.O20.022  Ill Spirits walke in whyte; wee easily knowe
015.O20.023  By thys, these Angells from an Evill Spright,
015.O20.024  They sett our heires, but these the flesh vpright.
015.O20.025  Licence my roving hands, and lett them goe,
015.O20.026  Behind, before, aboue, betweene, belowe.
015.O20.027  Oh my America, my new found land,
015.O20.028  My kingdome, safelyest when w%5th%6 one ma%M mand.
015.O20.029  My mine of pretious stones; my Empiree;
015.O20.030  How blest am I in thys discouering Thee,
015.O20.031  To enter into these bands, is to bee free,
015.O20.032  Then where my hand is sett, my Seale shall bee.
015.O20.033  Full Nakednes, all ioyes are due to Thee.
015.O20.034  As Soules vnbodyed, bodyes vncloth'd must bee,
015.O20.035  To tast whole ioyes.  Gems w%5ch%6 you woeme%M vse
015.O20.036  Are as Atlantaes balls cast in Mens viewes.
015.O20.037  That where a fooles Eye lighteth on a Gem
015.O20.038  Hys Earthly Soule may couett theyres not them.
015.O20.039  Like Pictures, or like bookes gay couerings, made
015.O20.040  For lay men, are all woeme%M thus arrayde.
015.O20.041  Themselues are Mistique bookes, w%5ch%6 only wee
015.O20.042  Whom theyre imputed Grace will dignifye [CW:om]
015.O20.043  Must be reuealed.  Then since I may knowe [15/19]
015.O20.044  As liberally, as to a Midwife, showe
015.O20.045  Thyselfe; Cast all, yea thys whyte linnen hence.
015.O20.046  There is no Pennance, much lesse Innocence.
015.O20.047  To teach Thee I am naked first: why than
015.O20.048  What needest thou haue more couering then a Man.|
