107.Y05.HE3om
107.Y05.001  Hayle bishop Valentine whose day this is
107.Y05.002  All the Ayre is thy diocesse
107.Y05.003  And all y%5e%6 chirping Quiristers
107.Y05.004  And other birds are thy Parishoners.
107.Y05.005  Thou marriest euery yeare
107.Y05.006  The liricke larke, & the graue whispering doue
107.Y05.007  The Sparow that neglects his life for loue
107.Y05.008  The houshold bird with the red stomacher [CW:Thou]
107.Y05.009  Thou makest y%5e%6 black bird speede as soone [28]
107.Y05.010  As doth the gold finch or the halcyon
107.Y05.011  The husband cock lookes out & straight is spedd
107.Y05.012  And meets his wife which brings his feather bedd.
107.Y05.013  This day more cherefully then euer shine,
107.Y05.014  This day w%5ch%6 might inflame thy selfe; old Valintine.
107.Y05.015  Till now thou warmdst with multiplinge loues
107.Y05.016  Too larkes, 2 sparrows, or 2 doues
107.Y05.017  All that is nothing vnto this
107.Y05.018  For thou this day covplest too Phenexes
107.Y05.019  Thou makst a Taper see,
107.Y05.020  What the sunne nere sawe, & what the Arke;
107.Y05.021  Which was of foules & beasts, y%5e%6 cage & Parke,
107.Y05.022  Did not contayne, one bed contaynes though thee
107.Y05.023  Two Phenexes whose joyned breasts
107.Y05.024  Are one an others mutuall nests
107.Y05.025  Whose motion kindles fire, as shall giue 
107.Y05.026  Young Phenexes, & yet the old shall liue,
107.Y05.027  Whose loue & courage neuer shall decline
107.Y05.028  But make the whole yeare through thy day O Valintine.
107.Y05.029  Vp then fayre Phoe%Lnex bird frustrate the Sunne
107.Y05.030  Thy selfe from thine affection
107.Y05.031  Takest warmth enough & from thine eye
107.Y05.032  All lesser birds will take there iollitie
107.Y05.033  Vp, Vp, faire birds & call.
107.Y05.034  Thy starrs from out there seuerall boxes, take
107.Y05.035  Thy rubys, pearles, & diomonds forth, & make
107.Y05.036  Thy selfe a constellation of them all
107.Y05.037  And by this blazinge signifie
107.Y05.038  That great Princes falls, yett doth not dye.
107.Y05.039  Be thou a new starre that to vs portends
107.Y05.040  Ends of much wonder, & be thou there ends.
107.Y05.041  Since thou dost this day in new glory shine
107.Y05.042  May all men date records from this thy Valintine.
107.Y05.043  Come forth, come forth, & as one glorious flame
107.Y05.044  Meetinge an other growes the same
107.Y05.045  So meete thy fredericke & so
107.Y05.046  To an vnseperable vnion growe
107.Y05.047  Since Seperation
107.Y05.048  Falls not on such things as are Infinite,
107.Y05.049  Nor things which are But one can disunite.
107.Y05.050  You are twise >vn<seperable, Great & one [29]
107.Y05.051  Goe then two where y%5e%6 Bishop stayes
107.Y05.052  To make you on his way, which diuerse wayes
107.Y05.053  Must be affected; & when all is past
107.Y05.054  And that you are one by hearts & hands made fast
107.Y05.055  You two haue one way left your selues to intwine
107.Y05.056  After the Bishopps Knott: or Bishopp Valintine.
107.Y05.057  But Oh what ayles the sunne, that here he stayes
107.Y05.058  [NI]Longer too day then other dayes?
107.Y05.059  Stayes new light from them to gett?
107.Y05.060  And finding here such store is loth to sett?
107.Y05.061  And why you two doe walke
107.Y05.062  So slowly pac'd in his procession?
107.Y05.063  Is all your care but to be lookt vpon?
107.Y05.064  And to be others spectacle & talke?
107.Y05.065  The Feast with gluttonous delayes
107.Y05.066  Is eaten?  And too long there meate they prayse.
107.Y05.067  The Masquers come late & I thinke will stay
107.Y05.068  Like Faryes till the cock crow them away:
107.Y05.069  Alas! did not antiquitie Assigne
107.Y05.070  A night as well as day; to the o Valentine.
107.Y05.071  They did & night is come, & yett wee see
107.Y05.072  Formalities retarding the
107.Y05.073  What meane those ladyes, Which as though
107.Y05.074  They went to take a clocke in peeces goe
107.Y05.075  So nicly about the bride?
107.Y05.076  A Bride before a good night could be fedd
107.Y05.077  Should vanish from her clothes into y%5e%6. bedd.
107.Y05.078  As soules from bodyes steale & are not spide
107.Y05.079  But now shees layd what though shee bee?
107.Y05.080  Yet there are more delayes; for where is hee?
107.Y05.081  Hee comes & passes through sphere after sphere
107.Y05.082  First her sheets, then her armes then any where.
107.Y05.083  Lett not then this day, but this night be thyne
107.Y05.084  Thy day was but the Eue to this, O Valintine.
107.Y05.085  Here lyes a shee sunne, & A hee Moone here
107.Y05.086  [NI]She giues the best light to his Sphere
107.Y05.087  Or each is both, & all, & so
107.Y05.088  They vnto one another nothing owe;
107.Y05.089  And yett they doe, but are [CW:So#Just]
107.Y05.090  So iust & rich, in that coyne which they pay [30]
107.Y05.091  That neither would nor needs forbeare, nor stay.
107.Y05.092  Neither desires to be spared, nor to spare,
107.Y05.093  They Quickley pay ther debt & then
107.Y05.094  Take no aquittances but pay againe.
107.Y05.095  They pay, they giue, they lend, & so let fall
107.Y05.096  No such occasion to be liberall
107.Y05.097  More truth, more courage, in those two doth shine
107.Y05.098  Then All thy Turtles, haue & Sparrows, Valintine.
107.Y05.099  And by this art of these two Phoe%Lnexes
107.Y05.100  Nature againe restored is
107.Y05.101  For since thes two, are two no more
107.Y05.102  There's but on Phoe%Lnex still as was before
107.Y05.103  Rest now at last: & wee
107.Y05.104  As Satyres watch the sunnes vprise
107.Y05.105  Waiting when your eyes opened let out day
107.Y05.106  Only desired because your face we see
107.Y05.107  Others neere you shall whispering speake
107.Y05.108  And wagers lay at which side day will breake.
107.Y05.109  And winne by obseruing then whose hand it is
107.Y05.110  That opens first a Curtaine, hers or his
107.Y05.111  This will be tyr'd to morrow after nine
107.Y05.112  Till which hower we thy day enlarge. O Valintine.
