126.NY3.001  Is not thy sacred hunger of science
126.NY3.002  yet satisfied? Is not thy braines rich hive
126.NY3.003  fullfilld w%5t%6 hony w%5ch%6 thou dost derive
126.NY3.004  from the Arts Spiritts & ther Quintessence?
126.NY3.005  Then weane thy selfe at last, & thee withdraw
126.NY3.006  fro%M Cambrige thy old Nource, & as the rest
126.NY3.007  Here toughly chaw, & sturdily disgest
126.NY3.008  Th'immense vast Volumes of o%5r%6 Co%Mmon Law.
126.NY3.009  And begin soone, least my griefe grieve thee to.
126.NY3.010  W%5ch%6 is that y%5t%6 w%5ch%6 I should haue begonne
126.NY3.011  In my youths Morning, now late must be donne.
126.NY3.012  And I, as giddy trauailers, must do
126.NY3.013  w%5ch%6 stay or sleepe all day, & hauing lost
126.NY3.014  Light & strength; dark & tyr'd must the%M ride post.
126.NY3.015  If thou vnto thy Muse be maried
126.NY3.016  Embrace her still: encrease & multiply;
126.NY3.017  be farr fro%M me y%5t%6 strange adulter>ie%>y<

126.NY3.019  My Muse (for I had one) because I ame cold

126.NY3.021  That I can take no new in bigamee
126.NY3.022  Not %Ynot%Z#my will only but power doth w%5t%6hold. [CW:om]
126.NY3.023  Hence comes it y%5t%6 these rimes w%5ch%6 never had [32]
126.NY3.024  Mother, want matter; and they only haue
126.NY3.025  A litle forme the w%5ch%6 ther father gaue;
126.NY3.026  They are prophane, imperfect, Oh too bad
126.NY3.027  To be counted Children of Poetree
