019.00G.001  H%+Ere take my Picture: though I bid farewell:
019.00G.002  Thine, in my heart, where my soul dwells, shall dwell,
019.00G.003  'Tis like me now, but I dead, 'twill be more
019.00G.004  When we are shadows both, than 'twas before.
019.00G.005  When weather-beaten I come back: my hand,
019.00G.006  Perhaps with rude oars torn, or Sun-beames tann'd,
019.00G.007  My face and breast of hair-cloth, and my head
019.00G.008  With cares harsh sodain %1horiness%2 o'r spread,
019.00G.009  My body a sack of bones, broken within,
019.00G.010  And powders blew stains scattered on my skin:
019.00G.011  If rival fools tax thee to'have lov'd a man,
019.00G.012  So foul, and coarse, as, Oh, I may seem than,
019.00G.013  This shall say what I was: and thou shalt say,
019.00G.014  Do his hurt reach me? doth my worth decay? [CW: Or]
019.00G.015  Or do they reach his judging mind, that he [p.72]
019.00G.016  Should now love less, what he did love to see?
019.00G.017  That which in him was fair and delicate,
019.00G.018  Was but the milk which in loves childish state
019.00G.019  Did nurse it: who now is grown strong enough
019.00G.020  To feed on that which to weak tasts seems tough.
