020.C01.0HE  Elegye of Loues p%Pgress
020.C01.001  Who euer Loues, yf he doe not propose
020.C01.002  the right true end of Loue, he is one w%5ch%6 goes
020.C01.003  to sea for nothinge, but to make him sicke
020.C01.004  and loue is a bearewhelpe borne, yf wee ouerlicke
020.C01.005  our loue, and force it new strange shapes to take,
020.C01.006  we err and of a lumpe a monster, make,
020.C01.007  were not a calfe, a monster, that weare growne
020.C01.008  fac'de like a man, though better then his owne?
020.C01.009  perfection is in vnitie.  preferr
020.C01.010  one woman first, and then one thinge in her.
020.C01.011  I, when I value goulde, maye thinke vpon
020.C01.012  the Ductilenesse, the application,
020.C01.013  the wholsomenes, the Ingenuytie,
020.C01.014  from dust, from soyle, from fyer eu%5r%6 free,
020.C01.015  but if I loue it, tis because tis made
020.C01.016  by o%5r%6 newe nature (vse) the soule of trade
020.C01.017  all these in wome>%Vn<, we might thinke vpon
020.C01.018  (yf woemen had them) but yet loue but one.
020.C01.019  can men more iniure woemen then to say
020.C01.020  theay loue them for y%5t%6, by w%5ch%6 theay are not they?
020.C01.021  makes vertue woemen? must I coole my blood
020.C01.022  till I both be, & finde one %Ywife%Z->>wise< & good?
020.C01.023  may barren Angells loue so, but if wee
020.C01.024  make loue to woemen, vertue is not shee
020.C01.025  as beauty is not, nor wealth, he that strayes thus
020.C01.026  from her, to hers, is more adulterous
020.C01.027  then if he tooke her mayde.  search eu%5r%6ie spheare
020.C01.028  and firmament o%5r%6 cupid is not there.
020.C01.029  he is an infernall god, and vndergrounde
020.C01.030  w%5th%6 Pluto dwells, where gould & %Yfyer%Zfyre abounde:
020.C01.031  men to such gods, their sacryficinge coales
020.C01.032  Did not on Alters laye but pitts, & holes
020.C01.033  although wee see Celestiall bodyes moue
020.C01.034  aboue the earth, the earth wee till, & loue
020.C01.035  soe wee her ayres contemplate, wordes, & harte,
020.C01.036  and vertues, but wee loue the centrique parte.
020.C01.037  nor is the soule more worthie, or more fitt
020.C01.038  for o%5r%6 loue is as infinite, as itt.
020.C01.039  but in attayninge this desired place
020.C01.040  how much they stray y%5t%6 set out at the face
020.C01.041  the hayre a for>%Vr<est is of Ambushes
020.C01.042  of springes, snares, fetters & man%Macles
020.C01.043  the brow becalmes vs when tis smooth & playne
020.C01.044  and when tis wrincled shipwrakes vs a gayne
020.C01.045  smooth tis a Paradice, where wee would haue
020.C01.046  Immortall staye, & wrincled tis o%5r%6 graue.
020.C01.047  the nose like to the first meridian runns
020.C01.048  not twixt an East, & west, but twixt too sunns [CW:it][miscatch]
020.C01.049  It leaues a cheake a rosye hemispheare [14v]
020.C01.050  on either syde, & then directs vs where
020.C01.051  vppon the Iland>%Ve<s fortunate wee fall
020.C01.052  (not faynt Canary but Ambrosiall)
020.C01.053  her swellinge lipps, to w%5ch%6 when wee are come.
020.C01.054  wee Anchor there & thinke o%5r%6 selues at home.
020.C01.055  for they seeme all, there Sirens songe, & there
020.C01.056  wise Delphique Oracles doe fill the eare,
020.C01.057  there in a Cricke where chosen pearels doe swell
020.C01.058  (the Rem%Mora) her cleauinge tonge doeth dwell.
020.C01.059  these, & the glorious promontery her chin%Me
020.C01.060  ore past, and the strayght hellespont betweene
020.C01.061  the Sestos, & %Ythe%ZAbydos of her brestes
020.C01.062  not of too louers, but too loues the nestes
020.C01.063  succeedes a boundlesse sea, but y%5t%6 thine Eye
020.C01.064  Some Iland moles may scatered there disc>%Vr<ye
020.C01.065  and saylinge towardes that India in that waye
020.C01.066  shall at her fayre Attlantique navell staye.
020.C01.067  though thence the current bee thy Pilott made
020.C01.068  yet eare thou be where thou wouldest be imbayde
020.C01.069  thou shalt vppon annother forrest sett
020.C01.070  wher some doe shipwrack & noe further gett
020.C01.071  when thou art there consider what this chase
020.C01.072  mispent, by thy beginninge at the face
020.C01.073  Rather set out belowe, practise my arte,
020.C01.074  some simetry the foote hath whyth that parte,
020.C01.075  w%5ch%6 thou doest seeke, and is thy mapp, for that,
020.C01.076  is louely enough to stopp, but not say att.
020.C01.077  least subiect to disguise & change it is
020.C01.078  men saye the diuell neuer can change his
020.C01.079  It is the Embleame which hath figured
020.C01.080  firmenesse, tis the first part commes to bedd
020.C01.081  Ciuillitye, wee see refind the kisse
020.C01.082  W%5ch%6 at the face begon%M, traspanted is

020.C01.084  now at the Papall foote delights to bee
020.C01.085  yf kinges thinke that the nearer way, & doe
020.C01.086  Rise from the foote, louers may doe soe toe
020.C01.087  for as free sphears moue faster farr then can
020.C01.088  Byrdes whom the Ayre resistes, soe may y%5t%6 man
020.C01.089  Which goes this emptye, and Etheriall way
020.C01.090  then if att beautyes Elements he stay
020.C01.091  Rich nature hath in woeman wisely made
020.C01.092  too purses, & there mouthes auersely layde:
020.C01.093  they then w%5ch%6 to %Ythere%Z->>the< lower trybute owe,
020.C01.094  that way w%5ch%6 that exchequer lookes must goe
020.C01.095  he w%5ch%6 doth not, his error is as great,
