020.00G.001  W%+Ho ever loves, if he do not propose
020.00G.002  The right true end of love, he's one that goes [CW:To]
020.00G.003  To sea for nothing but to make him sick: [p.95]
020.00G.004  Love is a bear-whelp born, if we o're lick
020.00G.005  Our love, and force it new strong shapes to take,
020.00G.006  We erre, and of a lump a monster make.
020.00G.007  Were not a Calf a monster that were grown
020.00G.008  Face'd like a man, though better then his own?
020.00G.009  Perfection is in vnitie: preferr
020.00G.010  One woman first, and then one thing in her.
020.00G.011  I when I value gold, may think upon
020.00G.012  The ductilness, the application,
020.00G.013  The wholsomness, the ingenuitie,
020.00G.014  From rust, from soil, from fire ever free:
020.00G.015  But if I love it, 'tis because 'tis made
020.00G.016  By our new nature (Use) the soul of trade.
020.00G.017  All these in women we might think upon
020.00G.018  (If women had them) and yet love but one.
020.00G.019  Can men more injure women then to say
020.00G.020  They love them for that, by which they're not they?
020.00G.021  Makes virtue woman? must I cool my bloud
020.00G.022  Till I both be, and find one wise and good?
020.00G.023  May barren Angels love so. But if we
020.00G.024  Make love to woman; virtue is not she:
020.00G.025  As beauties no nor wealth: He that strayes thus:
020.00G.026  From her to hers, is more adulterous,
020.00G.027  Then if he took her maid. Search every sphear
020.00G.028  And firmament, our %1Cupid%2 is not there:
020.00G.029  He's an infernal god and under ground,
020.00G.030  With %1Pluto%2 dwells, where gold and fire abound,
020.00G.031  Men to such Gods, their sacrificing Coles
020.00G.032  Did not on Altars lay, but pits and holes:
020.00G.033  Although we see Celestial bodies move
020.00G.034  Above the earth, the earth we Till and love:
020.00G.035  So we her ayres contemplate, words and heart,
020.00G.036  And virtues; but we love the Centrique part. [CW:Nor]
020.00G.037  Nor is the soul more worthy, or more fit [p.96]
020.00G.038  For love, then this, as infinit as it.
020.00G.039  But in attaining this desired place
020.00G.040  How much they erre; that set out at the face?
020.00G.041  The hair a Forest is of Ambushes,
020.00G.042  Of springs, snares, fetters and manacles:
020.00G.043  The brow becalms us when 'tis smooth and plain,
020.00G.044  And when 'tis wrinckled, shipwracks us again.
020.00G.045  Smooth, 'tis a Paradice, where we would have
020.00G.046  Immortal stay, but wrinckled 'tis a grave.     
020.00G.047  The Nose (like to the sweet Meridian) runs
020.00G.048  Not 'twixt an East and West, but 'twixt two suns;
020.00G.049  It leaves a Cheek, a rosie Hemisphere
020.00G.050  On either side, and then directs us where
020.00G.051  Upon the Islands fortunate we fall,
020.00G.052  Not faint %1Canaries%2, but %1Ambrosiall%2.
020.00G.053  Unto her swelling lips when we are come,
020.00G.054  We anchor there, and think our selves at home,
020.00G.055  For they seem all: there Syrens songs, and there
020.00G.056  Wise Delphick Oracles do fill the ear;
020.00G.057  Then in a Creek where chosen pearls do swell
020.00G.058  The Rhemora her cleaving tongue doth dwell.
020.00G.059  These, and (the glorious Promontory) her Chin
020.00G.060  Being past the Straits of %1Hellespont%2 between
020.00G.061  The %1Sestos%2 and %1Abydos%2 of her breasts,
020.00G.062  (Not of two Lovers, but two loves the neasts)
020.00G.063  Succeeds a boundless sea, but yet thine eye
020.00G.064  Some Island moles may scattered there descry;
020.00G.065  And Sailng towards her %1India%2, in that way
020.00G.066  Shall at her fair Atlantick Naval stay;
020.00G.067  Though there the Current be the Pilot made,
020.00G.068  Yet ere thou be where thou should'st be embay'd,
020.00G.069  Thou shalt upon another Forest set,
020.00G.070  Where many Shipwrack, and no further get. [CW:When]
020.00G.071  When thou art there, consider what this chace [p.97]
020.00G.072  Mispent by thy beginning at the face.
020.00G.073  Rather set out below; practice my Art,
020.00G.074  Some Symetry the foot hath with that part
020.00G.075  Which thou dost seek, and is thy Map for that
020.00G.076  Lovely enough to stop, but not stay at:
020.00G.077  Least subject to disguise and change it is;
020.00G.078  Men say the Devil never can change his.
020.00G.079  It is the Emblem that hath figured
020.00G.080  Firmness; 'tis the the first part that comes to bed.
020.00G.081  Civilitie we see refin'd: the kiss
020.00G.082  Which at the face began, transplanted is,
020.00G.083  Since to the hand, since to the imperial knee,
020.00G.084  Now at the Papal foot delights to be:
020.00G.085  If Kings think that the nearer way, and do
020.00G.086  Rise from the foot, Lovers may do so too.
020.00G.087  For as free Spheres move faster far then can
020.00G.088  Birds, whom the air resists, so may that man
020.00G.089  Which goes this empty and AE%Ltherial way,
020.00G.090  Then if at beauties enemies he stay.
020.00G.091  Rich Nature hath in women wisely made
020.00G.092  Two purses, and their mouths aversely laid:
020.00G.093  They then, which to the lower tribute owe
020.00G.094  That way which that Exchequer looks, must go:
020.00G.095  He which doth not, his error is as great,
020.00G.096  As who by glister gives the Stomack meat.
