016.H08.001  Although thy hand, & faith, & good workes too
016.H08.002  Haue seal'd thy loue, w%5ch%6 nothing should out-doe,
016.H08.003  Yea though thou fall backe that Apostacy
016.H08.004  Confirmes thy loue:  yet much more I feare y%5ee%6.
016.H08.005  Weomen are like the Arts, forc'd vnto none,
016.H08.006  Open t'all searchers, vnpriz'd if vnknowne.
016.H08.007  If I haue caught a bird, & lett him fly
016.H08.008  Another ffowler vseing these meanes as I 
016.H08.009  May catch the same bird; & as these things bee
016.H08.010  Weomen are made for men; not him, nor mee.
016.H08.011  ffoxes & goates, all beastes change when they please
016.H08.012  Shall weomen, more hott, wilye, wilde then these
016.H08.013  Be bound to one man?  & did nature then
016.H08.014  Idly make them apter to indure then men?
016.H08.015  They are our cloggs, not their owne:  if a man bee
016.H08.016  Chayn'd to a Galley, yet the Gallye's free.
016.H08.017  Who hath plow'd land cast all his seedcorne there
016.H08.018  And yet allowes the ground more corne should beare
016.H08.019  Though Danuby into the sea must flow,
016.H08.020  The sea receiues the Rhene, Volga, & Po.
016.H08.021  By nature, w%5ch%6 gaue it this liberty
016.H08.022  Thou lou'st, but oh canst thou loue it & mee?
016.H08.023  Likenes glues loue, then if soe thou doe
016.H08.024  To make vs like & loue, must I change too: [CW:om]
016.H08.025  More then thy hate I hate it; rather let mee [f. 89v]
016.H08.026  Allow her change then change as oft as shee.
016.H08.027  And soe not teach but force my opinion
016.H08.028  To loue not any one, >%Vnor< but euery one.
016.H08.029  To liue in one land is captiuity,
016.H08.030  To runn all Countryes a wild roguery.
016.H08.031  Waters stinke soone if in one place they bide,
016.H08.032  And in the vast sea are worse putrifyed.
016.H08.033  But when they kisse one banke & leauing this
016.H08.034  Neuer look back but the next banks doe kisse
016.H08.035  Then are they purest.  Change is y%5e%6 nurcery
