020.C09.0HE  Elegye:13.  /Loues progresse.
020.C09.001  Who euer loues, if he doe not propose
020.C09.002  The right true end of loue, hee's one y%5t%6 goes
020.C09.003  To sea for nothing but to make him sicke:
020.C09.004  And Loue's a bearewhelpe borne, if w'ouerlicke
020.C09.005  Our loue, & force it new strange shapes to take
020.C09.006  Wee erre, & of a lumpe a monster make.
020.C09.007  Were not a Calfe a monster that were growne
020.C09.008  Fac'd like a man, though better then his owne?
020.C09.009  Perfection is in vnitye, preferre
020.C09.010  One woman first, & then one thinge in her.
020.C09.011  I when I valew gold may thinke vpon
020.C09.012  The ductilenesse, the application,
020.C09.013  The wholsomnes, the Ingenuitye [CW:>>from#dust<<]
020.C09.014  From dust, from soyle, from fire for euer free; [33r]
020.C09.015  But if I loue it, tis because tis made
020.C09.016  By our new nature /vse/ the soule of Trade.
020.C09.017  All these in women we might thinke vpon
020.C09.018  If women had them, but yet loue but one.
020.C09.019  Can men more iniure women, then to say
020.C09.020  They loue for that by which they are not they?
020.C09.021  Makes virtue woman?  must I coole my bloud
020.C09.022  Till I both bee & find one wise and good?
020.C09.023  May barren Angells loue so, but if wee
020.C09.024  Make loue to woman, virtue is not Shee
020.C09.025  As beauty is not, nor wealth.  He y%5t%6 strayes thus
020.C09.026  from her, to hers, is more adulterous
020.C09.027  Then hee that tooke her mayd.  Search euery Sphere
020.C09.028  And firmament, our Cupid is not there;
020.C09.029  Hee's an infernall god, & vnderground
020.C09.030  With Pluto dwells, where gould & fire abound.
020.C09.031  Men to such gods their sacrificing coles
020.C09.032  Did not on altars lay, but pitts & holes.
020.C09.033  Although we see celestiall bodyes moue
020.C09.034  Aboue the earth, the earth wee till & loue.
020.C09.035  So we /as Ayres/ contemplate/ wordes & heart
020.C09.036  And virtues, but we /loue/ the centrique part.
020.C09.037  Nor is the Soule more worthy or more fitt
020.C09.038  For loue then this, as infinite as it.
020.C09.039  But in attayning this desired place
020.C09.040  How much they stray that sett out at y%5e%6 face?
020.C09.041  The haire a forrest is of ambushes
020.C09.042  Of %JSpring>e<s%K[Mvar:>%Jspringes%K<], snares, fetters & manacles.
020.C09.043  The brow becalmes vs when 'tis smooth & plaine
020.C09.044  And when tis wrinkled shipwracks vs againe; [CW:om]
020.C09.045  Smooth, tis a paradise, where we would hau*e>haue< [33v]
020.C09.046  Im%Mortall stay, & wrinkled, tis our graue
020.C09.047  The nose like to the first meridian runnes
020.C09.048  Not twixt an east & west, but twixt 2 Sunnes,
020.C09.049  It leaues a cheeke, a rosy hemisphere
020.C09.050  On either side, & then directs vs where
020.C09.051  Vpon the Islands fortunate we fall
020.C09.052  Not faint Canaries, but Ambrosiall
020.C09.053  Her swelling lipps, to which when we are come
020.C09.054  Wee anchor there & thinke ourselues at home
020.C09.055  For they seeme all.  There Syrens songs & there
020.C09.056  Wise Delphique Oracles doe fill the eare.
020.C09.057  There in a Creeke where chosen pearles do swell
020.C09.058  The Remora her cleauing tongue doth dwell:
020.C09.059  That, & the glorious promontorye her chinne
020.C09.060  O'repast, & the straight Hellespont betweene
020.C09.061  The Sestos & Abidus of her brests
020.C09.062  (Not of two Louers but two loues the nests)
020.C09.063  Succeeds a boundles Sea, but that thine eye
020.C09.064  Some Island moles may scattered there descrye,
020.C09.065  And sayling toward her India, in that way
020.C09.066  Shalt at her faire Atlantique navell stay.
020.C09.067  Though thence the Current be thy pilott made
020.C09.068  Yet ere thou bee where thou wouldst be ymbai'd
020.C09.069  Thou shalt vpon another forrest sett
020.C09.070  Where many shipwracke & no farther get.
020.C09.071  When thou art there, consider whats this chase
020.C09.072  Mispent by thy beginning at the face.
020.C09.073  Rather sett out below, practise my Art
020.C09.074  Some Symetrie the foot hath with that part [CW:>>which<<]
020.C09.075  Which thou dost seeke, & is as mapp for that [34r]
020.C09.076  Louely enough to stop but not stay at:
020.C09.077  Least subiect to disguise & change it is
020.C09.078  Men say the Deuill neuer can change his.
020.C09.079  It is the Embleme y%5t%6 hath figured
020.C09.080  Firmenesse, tis the first part which comes to bed.
020.C09.081  Ciuilitye we see refin'd, the kisse
020.C09.082  Which at the face began, %Jtransported%K[%1Mvar%2:>%Jtransplanted%K<] is
020.C09.083  Since to the hand, since to th'Imperiall knee
020.C09.084  Now at the papall foote delights to bee.
020.C09.085  If kinges thinke that the neerer way & doe
020.C09.086  Rise from the foote, louers may do so too.
020.C09.087  For as free Spheres moue faster farre then %Yc**%Z>can<
020.C09.088  Birdes whom the ayre resists, so may that man
020.C09.089  Which goes this empty & etheriall way
020.C09.090  Then if at beauties Elements he stay.
020.C09.091  Rich nature hath in women wisely made
020.C09.092  Two purses, & their mouths aversly lay'd;
020.C09.093  They then which to the lower tribute owe
020.C09.094  That way which that Excheq%5r%6 lookes must goe.
020.C09.095  who doth not so, his error is as great
020.C09.096  As who by Clister giues the stomacke meat.|
