112.EU3.001  S.%5r%6 more then kisses letters mingle soules;
112.EU3.002  for thus freinds absent speake, this helpe controules
112.EU3.003  Y%5e%6 teadiousnes of my life, but for theise
112.EU3.004  I could y%Udeate[cf.l.12] nothing that could please,
112.EU3.005  But I should wyther in one day, & passe
112.EU3.006  To a bottle of hay, being now a lock of grasse.
112.EU3.007  Life is a voyadge, & in our liues wayes,
112.EU3.008  Cuntreys, Courts, townes, ar rocks or Remora's
112.EU3.009  Thay breake or stopp all shypps, yet our state's such
112.EU3.010  That though worse then pitche thay stayne, wee must touch.
112.EU3.011  If in y%5e%6 furnace of y%5e%6 euen lyne
112.EU3.012  Or vnder th'aduerse y%Ucy pole thou pyne
112.EU3.013  Thou knowst two temperate regions girded in
112.EU3.014  Dwell there, but o%G[sic] what refuge canst thou winne
112.EU3.015  Parchte in y%5e%6 Court or in y%5e%6 cuntrey frozen
112.EU3.016  Shall Cittyes built of bothe extreames be chosen
112.EU3.017  Can dunge & garlick be'a perfume,%5?%6[see_notes] or can [CW:a#scorpion]
112.EU3.018  A scorpion, & Torpedo cure a man? [f.102v]
112.EU3.019  Cittyes ar worst of all three: of all three?
112.EU3.020  O knotty riddle, each is worst equallye.
112.EU3.021  Cittyes ar sepulchers, thay who dwell there
112.EU3.022  Ar caracasses as if no such thing were,
112.EU3.023  And Courts ar theaters, where sum men playe
112.EU3.024  Kings, sum slaues, all t'one ende and of one claye.
112.EU3.025  The Cuntrey is a desert, where no good
112.EU3.026  Gaynde as habits not borne, is vnderstoode,
112.EU3.027  There men becum beasts, and prone to more euills:
112.EU3.028  In cityes blocks, and in a lewde Court Deuills.
112.EU3.029  As in y%5e%6 first Cao%Us confusedlye
112.EU3.030  Each Elements qualityes were in th'other three
112.EU3.031  So pride, lust, couetise being seuerall
112.EU3.032  To theise three places, yet ar all in all:
112.EU3.033  & mingled thus their issue incestious[sp:sic]
112.EU3.034  falshood is denisen'd, vertue is barbarous.
112.EU3.035  Let no may[sic!] say there, vertues flinty wall
112.EU3.036  Shall lock vice in mee', I'le do none, but know all.
112.EU3.037  Men spunges ar, w%5ch%6 to powre out receiue,
112.EU3.038  & cunning gamsters ere thay loose, deceiue.|
112.EU3.039  for in best vnderstandings Syn began
112.EU3.040  Angells first, sinnde, then deuills, & then Man,
112.EU3.041  Only perchaunce beasts synne not, only wee
112.EU3.042  Ar beasts in all but whyte integritye.
112.EU3.043  I thinke if men w%5ch%6 in theise places liue
112.EU3.044  durst looke for themselues, & themselues retriue,
112.EU3.045  Thay would like [sic]straunger greete themselues, seing[sic] then

112.EU3.047  Bee thou thyne owne house, & in thyselfe dwell: [CW:Inne#any]
