112.NY1.001 S%5r%6! more then kisses letters mingle souls
112.NY1.002 For thus freinds absent speake. This ease controuls
112.NY1.003 the tediousness of my life; but for theise
112.NY1.004 I could Ideate nothing that would please
112.NY1.005 but I should wither in one day; and pass
112.NY1.006 to a bottle of hay y%5t%6 am a lock of grasse
112.NY1.007 Life is a voyage and in our lyfes wayes
112.NY1.008 Countryes, Courts, Towns are %1Rocks%2 or %1Remora's%2
112.NY1.009 they break or stop all shipps yet our state is such
112.NY1.010 that though then pitch they stayne worse, wee must touch
112.NY1.011 If in the furnace of the eauen line
112.NY1.012 or vnder th' aduerse Icye Poles y%5u%6 pine
112.NY1.013 Thou knowst two temperate Regions girded in, [p.92]
112.NY1.014 Dwell there. But oh w%5t%6 refuge canst y%5u%6 winn,
112.NY1.015 Parchd in y%5e%6 Court and in y%5e%6 Country frozen?
112.NY1.016 Shall Citties built of both th' extreams be chosen?
112.NY1.017 Can dung and Garlick be a perfume? or can
112.NY1.018 a Scorpion or Torpedo cure a man?
112.NY1.019 Cyttyes is worst of all three: of all three
112.NY1.020 (a knottie riddle) each is worst ae%Lquallie
112.NY1.021 Citties are Sepulchres, they who dwell there
112.NY1.022 are carcasses, as if noe such there were:
112.NY1.023 And Courts are Theaters where some me%M play
112.NY1.024 Princes, some slaues, all to one end and off one clay.
112.NY1.025 The Country is a desart, where noe good
112.NY1.026 gayn'd, as habitts not borne is vnderstood
112.NY1.027 There men become beasts and prone to meere euills
112.NY1.028 In Citties, blocks, and in >a< leude Court Deuills.
112.NY1.029 As in the first Chaos confusedly
112.NY1.030 Each Elements qualitye were in th' other three
112.NY1.031 So pride, lust, **uetize being seuerall
112.NY1.032 to these three places yet are all in all.
112.NY1.033 And mingled thus theire issue incestuouse
112.NY1.034 Falshood is Denizon'd, Vertue is barbarouse
112.NY1.035 Let noe man say there Vertue's flintye wall
112.NY1.036 shall lock vice in me, I'le doe none but kno%5w%6 all
112.NY1.037 Men are spunges fitt to powre and to receiue
112.NY1.038 Who know false play rather then loose deceiue
112.NY1.039 For in y%5e%6 best vnderstandings sinn began
112.NY1.040 Angells sinn'd first, then Deuills, then Man
112.NY1.041 Only perchance Beasts sinn not; wretched wee  [p.93]
112.NY1.042 are beasts in all but white integritie
112.NY1.043 I thinke if men w%5ch%6 in these places liue
112.NY1.044 durst looke for themselus and themselus retriue
112.NY1.045 They would like strangers greet themselus, seeing than
112.NY1.046 %1Vtopian%2 yeouth grown old %1Italian%2
112.NY1.047 B%Yut%Z>\ee< then thy own home and in thy self dwell
112.NY1.048 Inn any where, continuance maketh hell
112.NY1.049 And seeing the snaile w%5ch%6 euery where doth roame
112.NY1.050 carrying his own house still, still is at home
112.NY1.051 Follow (for he is easy pac'd) this snaile;
112.NY1.052 Be thy own pallace. Or y%5e%6 Worlds y%5e%6 gaole
112.NY1.053 And in y%5e%6 World's sea doe not like Corke sleep
112.NY1.054 vpon y%5e%6 waters face; nor in y%5e%6 deep
112.NY1.055 sinke like a lead w%5th%6out a line, but as 
112.NY1.056 fishes glide leauing noe print where she was
112.NY1.057 nor making sound, so closly thy course goe
112.NY1.058 Lett man dispute whither y%5u%6 breath or noe
112.NY1.059 Only in this one thing be noe %1Gallenist%2, to make
112.NY1.060 Courts hott, ambitions wholsome; Doe not take
112.NY1.061 a dramm of Countryes dulness, Doe not add
112.NY1.062 Correctiues but as Chymicks purge y%5e%6 badd.
112.NY1.063 But S%5r%6 I aduise not yo%5w%6 I rather doe
112.NY1.064 say o're those lessons w%5ch%6 I learn't of, yo%5w%6
112.NY1.065 Whome (free from %1Germains%2 schisms and lightness
112.NY1.066 of %1France%2, and fayre Italy's faithlessnesse
112.NY1.067 Hauing from these suckd all they had of worth
112.NY1.068 and brought home y%5t%6 faith w%5ch%6 yo%5w%6 carried forth
112.NY1.069 I throughly loue: But if myself I haue wonne
112.NY1.070 to know my rules I haue and yo%5w%6 haue donne.
