112.H08.0HE  I. D.
112.H08.001  S.%5r%6 /More then kisses letters mingle Soules,
112.H08.002  ffor thus freinds absent speake; this ease controules
112.H08.003  The tediousnes of my life, but for these
112.H08.004  I could Ideate nothing w%5ch%6 could please,
112.H08.005  But I should wither in one day, & pass
112.H08.006  T'a bottle of hay w%5ch%6 am a lock of grass.
112.H08.007  Life is a voyage, & in o%5r%6 liues wayes
112.H08.008  Countryes, Courts, Townes are Rocks & Remora's
112.H08.009  That breake, or stopp all Shipps: yet o%5r%6 state is such
112.H08.010  That though worse then pitch they staine, yet we must touch
112.H08.011  If in the ffurnace of the ouer-line
112.H08.012  Or vnder th'aduerse Icy-Poles thou pyne
112.H08.013  Thou know'st two temperate Regions girded in
112.H08.014  Dwell there, but in this w%5t%6. refuge canst thou win%M?
112.H08.015  Parch't in the Court, & in the Country frozen,
112.H08.016  Shall Cittyes built of both extreames be chosen?
112.H08.017  Can dung or garlick be a perfume?  or can
112.H08.018  A Scorpion or Torpedo cure a man?
112.H08.019  Cittyes are the worst of all these: And why?
112.H08.020  Oh knotty riddle!  all are worst equally.
112.H08.021  Cittyes are Sepulchres; they w%5ch%6 dwell there
112.H08.022  Are carcasses as if none such there were.
112.H08.023  And Courts are Theaters where some doe play
112.H08.024  Princes, some Slaves t'one end, & of one clay. [C:Wom]
112.H08.025  The Country is a desart, where the good [57]
112.H08.026  Gayne inhabits not borne is not vnderstood;
112.H08.027  There men become beastes, & prone to all euills;
112.H08.028  In Cittyes blocks, & in a lewd Court Diuells.
112.H08.029  As in the first Chaos confusedly
112.H08.030  Each elements qualityes were in th'other three
112.H08.031  So pride, lust, couetousness being seuerall
112.H08.032  To these three places, yet are all in all,
112.H08.033  And mingled thus their issue is incestuous,
112.H08.034  ffalshood is denizen'd. [lc]vertue is barbarous.
112.H08.035  Let noe man say their vertues flinty wall
112.H08.036  Shall lock vice in mee; [lc]i'le doe none, but know all.
112.H08.037  Men are as Springs, w%5ch%6 to poure out receaue;
112.H08.038  Who know false play, rather then loose, deceiue.
112.H08.039  ffor in best vnderstandings sinn began,
112.H08.040  Angells sinn'd first, then Deuills, & then Man;
112.H08.041  Only perchance beasts sinn'd not: wretched wee
112.H08.042  Are beastes in all, but white integrity.
112.H08.043  I thinke if men w%5ch%6 in these places liue
112.H08.044  Durst looke for y%5m%6selues, & themselues retriue
112.H08.045  They would like Strangers greete y%5m%6selues, seeing than
112.H08.046  Vtopian youth growne old Italian.
112.H08.047  Be then thyne owne home, & in thy selfe dwell
112.H08.048  (In any where continuance maketh hell;)
112.H08.049  And seeing the Snaile, w%5ch%6 euery where doth rome
112.H08.050  Carrying his owne house still, still is at home;
112.H08.051  ffollow (for hee is easy pac'd) this snaile
112.H08.052  Be thyne owne Pallace, or all y%5e%6 world's thy Iayle: [57v]
112.H08.053  And in the worlds sea doe not like corke sleepe
112.H08.054  Vpon the waters topp, nor in the deepe
112.H08.055  Sinke like a leade without a lyne: But as 
112.H08.056  ffishes glide leaueing noe print where they pass,
112.H08.057  Nor makeing sound; soe closely thy course goe,
112.H08.058  Let men dispute whether thou breath or noe;
112.H08.059  Only in this be noe Galenist to make
112.H08.060  Courts hott ambitions wholesome; doe not take
112.H08.061  A dramme of Countryes dullness; doe not add
112.H08.062  Correctiues; but as Chymicks purge the badd.
112.H08.063  But S.%5r%6 I aduise not yo%5w%6, I rather doe
112.H08.064  Say o're those lessons w%5ch%6 I learn't of you;
112.H08.065  Where free from Germans scisme, & lightness
112.H08.066  Of France, & faire Italians faythfullness
112.H08.067  Haueing fro%M these suckt all they had of worth
112.H08.068  And brought home y%5t%6 fayth w%5ch%6 yo%5w%6 carryed forth
112.H08.069  I throughly loue; But if myselfe I haue wonne
112.H08.070  To know my Rules; I haue (& you haue) /Donne.|
