016.AF1.0HE  %1Elegie%2 III.
016.AF1.001  Although thy hand and faith, and good workes too,
016.AF1.002  Have seal'd thy love which nothing should undoe,
016.AF1.003  Yea though thou fall backe, that apostasie
016.AF1.004  Confirme thy love; yet much, much I feare thee.
016.AF1.005  Women, are like the Arts, forc'd unto none,
016.AF1.006  Open to'all searchers, unpriz'd, if unknowne.
016.AF1.007  If I have caught a bird, and let him flie,
016.AF1.008  Another fouler using these meanes, as I,
016.AF1.009  May catch the same bird; and, as these things bee,
016.AF1.010  Women are made for men, not him, nor mee.
016.AF1.011  Foxes and goats; all beasts change when they please,
016.AF1.012  Shall women, more hot, wily, wild then these,
016.AF1.013  Be bound to one man, and did Nature then bid
016.AF1.014  Idly make them apter to'endure then men?
016.AF1.015  They'are our clogges, not their owne; if a man bee
016.AF1.016  Chain'd to a galley, yet the galley'is free;
016.AF1.017  Who hath a plow-land, casts all his seed corne there, [CW:And(%1M%2)]
016.AF1.018  And yet allowes his ground more corne should beare;[%1L%2][,#%1in#M%2] [p.48(%1M%2)]
016.AF1.019  Though Danuby into the sea must flow,
016.AF1.020  The sea receives the Rhene, Volga, and Po.
016.AF1.021  By nature, which gave it, this liberty
016.AF1.022  Thou lov'st, but Oh! canst thou love it and mee?
016.AF1.023  Likenesse glues love: and if that thou so doe,
016.AF1.024  To make us like and love, must I change too?
016.AF1.025  More then thy hate, I hate'it, rather let mee
016.AF1.026  Allow her change, then change as oft as shee,
016.AF1.027  And soe not teach, but force my'opinion
016.AF1.028  To love not any one, nor every one.
016.AF1.029  To live in one land, is captivitie,
016.AF1.030  To runne all countries, a wild roguery;
016.AF1.031  Waters stincke soone, if in one place they bide,
016.AF1.032  And in the vast sea are more putrifi'd:
016.AF1.033  But when they kisse one banke, and leaving this
016.AF1.034  Never looke backe, but the next banke doe kisse,
016.AF1.035  Then are they purest; Change'is the nursery
016.AF1.036  Of musicke, joy, life, and eternity. [CW: %1Elegie%2 (in %1M%2)]
016.AF1.0SSom
016.AF1.0$$  %1Last word of l.13--"bid"--is the only emend of 1633; details of 
the print part of this file come from the%2 M %1copy in Hbg. & %2 L %1copy 
used for the original transc.; final punct for l.18 transcribed from%2 L %1as 
; but is , in%2 M%1, although it's possible%2 M%1's comma is a poorly inked 
semicolon%2.  The "bid" at 13 probably intended as an alternative to "did" in 
that line.  H-K in fact print "bid," which may be where this alternate reading 
came from.
