016.SP1.001 A%+lthoughe thy hand, and fayth, and good workes to
016.SP1.002 Haue seal'd thy loue, w%5ch%6 nothing should vndoe.
016.SP1.003 Yea, thoughe thou fall back, that Apostacie
016.SP1.004 Confirme thy loue; yet much, much, I feare thee.
016.SP1.005 Weomen are like the Artes, forc'd vnto none,
016.SP1.006 Open to all Searchers, vnpriz'd if vnknowne.
016.SP1.007 If I haue caught a Byrd, and lett him flye,
016.SP1.008 Another Fowler vsing theis meanes, as I
016.SP1.009 May catche the same Byrd, and as >%V%5these%6< thinges bee
016.SP1.010 Weomen are made for Men, not him, nor Mee.
016.SP1.011 ffoxes, and Goates; All beastes chaung when they please,
016.SP1.012 Shall weomen more hotte, wilie-wild then these
016.SP1.013 Bee bound to One Man? And did Nature them
016.SP1.014 Idelie make them apter to endure then Men?
016.SP1.015 They are our Clogges, and their owne; If a Man bee
016.SP1.016 Chay'nd to a Gallie, yet the Galley's free.
016.SP1.017 Who hath a Plough-land, castes all his Seed-corne there,
016.SP1.018 And yet allowes his Ground more Corne should beare.
016.SP1.019 Thoughe Danubie vnto the Sea must flowe,
016.SP1.020 The Sea receives the Rheine, Volga, and Po. [CW: By]
016.SP1.021 By Nature, w%5ch%6 gaue it, this libertie [f. 26v
016.SP1.022 Thou lov'st, but oh! can'st thou loue it, and Mee?
016.SP1.023 Likenes glewes loue; then if soe thou doe,
016.SP1.024 To make vs lyke, and love, Must I chang too?
016.SP1.025 More then thy hate, I hate it: Rather lett Mee
016.SP1.026 Allowe her Change, then Change as oft as Shee;
016.SP1.027 And soe not teach, but force my Opinion
016.SP1.028 To love not anie One, nor Euerie One.
016.SP1.029 To liue in one land, is Captiuitie,
016.SP1.030 To runne all Countries a wild Roguerie.
016.SP1.031 Waters stinck soone if in one place they bide,
016.SP1.032 And in the vast Sea are worse putrified.
016.SP1.033 But when they kisse one Banck, and leaving this
016.SP1.034 Never looke backe, but the next Banck doe kisse,
016.SP1.035 Then are they purest. Change is the Nurcerie
016.SP1.036 Of Musick, Ioye, Lyfe, and Aeternitie.
