112.O21.001  S%5r%6 more then kisses Letters; mingle soules
112.O21.002  for thus frendes absent speake; this ease controules
112.O21.003  the teadiousnes of my life, but for those
112.O21.004  I could inuent no one thing y%5t%6 could please;
112.O21.005  but shoulld wither in one day; and passe
112.O21.006  to a wispe of hay; w%5c%6 am a locke of grasse [CW:om]
112.O21.007  life is a voyage; and in o%5r%6 liues way; [52]
112.O21.008  Countryes; Courtes, townes; ar Rockes & Remoraes
112.O21.009  they breake and stop all ships; yet o%5r%6 state such
112.O21.010  though worse then pitch their staine; yet wee must catch
112.O21.011  If in the furnace of the other line
112.O21.012  or vnder the aduerse Icy poles thou pine
112.O21.013  thou>%Ygh%Z< knowest two temperate regions girded in
112.O21.014  dwell there; but in this what refuge, canst thou win%M
112.O21.015  parch in the Cowrt & in the Cuntry frozen.
112.O21.016  shall cittyes built of both extreames bee chosen,
112.O21.017  Can dongue, or garlicke be a perfume; or Can
112.O21.018  a Scorpion or Torpedo Cure a man;
112.O21.019  Cittyes ar worst of all three
112.O21.020  oh knotty riddle all ar most equally,
112.O21.021  Cittyes ar sepulcheres; they w%5c%6 dwell there
112.O21.022  ar Carcasses; as none such there were
112.O21.023  and Courtes ar Theaters; where some play.
112.O21.024  princes; some states; to one end, & of one Clay.
112.O21.025  the Country is a desart; where the good.
112.O21.026  gain'd in habittes; not borne is not vnderstood.
112.O21.027  There men become beastes; and prone to all euills
112.O21.028  in Cittyes blockes; and in a lew'd court deuils
112.O21.029  as in the first Chaos confusedly.
112.O21.030  Each elementes qualityes were in the other three
112.O21.031  so pride; lust; Couetuousnesse; being seuerall [CW:om]
112.O21.032  To these three places yet ar all in all. [53]
112.O21.033  & mingled thus; their issue is incestuous.
112.O21.034  falshoode is denized virtue is barbarous
112.O21.035  lett no ma%M say that virtues flinty wall
112.O21.036  shall locke vice in mee, I'le doe none but %Yknew%Z>know< all
112.O21.037  men ar spunges; w%5c%6 to powre out receiue
112.O21.038  who* knowes false play rather then loose deceaue
112.O21.039  for in best vnderstanding sinne began
112.O21.040  angells sin%Me[sic] first; then diuells; and then man
112.O21.041  onely perchance; beastes sinn not wretched wee.
112.O21.042  ar beastes in all butt white integrity.
112.O21.043  I thinke if men w%5ch%6 in these places liue;
112.O21.044  durst looke in to themselues; themselues retriue
112.O21.045  y%5e%6 would like strangers; greet the%Mselues; seing y%5t%6
112.O21.046  Vtopian youth; growing old; Italionate,
112.O21.047  bee then thine owne home, & in thy selfe dwell.
112.O21.048  in any where Continuance maketh hell.
112.O21.049  & seing the snayle w%5c%6 euery where doth rome
112.O21.050  carring[sic] her owne house still; still is at home,
112.O21.051  follow (for hee is easy pac'd) this snayle;
112.O21.052  be thine owne pallace; or all the world's thy gaile
112.O21.053  & in the worlds sea doe not like Corke sleepe
112.O21.054  vppo%M the waters face; nor in the deepe
112.O21.055  sinke like a lead w%5th%6out a line; but as
112.O21.056  fishes glide; [om] [om] [om] [om] [om] [om] 
112.O21.057  [om] [om] [om] so closely thy course goe [CW:om]
112.O21.058  Let me%M dispute; whether thou breath or no [54]
112.O21.059  onely in this bee, no Gallenist to make
112.O21.060  courtes hott ambitio%M wholsome; doe not take
112.O21.061  a dragme of Courtiers dulnesse, doe not add
112.O21.062  correctiues; but as drinkes to cure the badd
112.O21.063  But S%5r%6, I aduise not you; I rather doe
112.O21.064  say o're these lessons w%5ch%6 I learn't fro%M you
112.O21.065  who free from Germane schisme; & lightnesse
112.O21.066  of ffraunce; & fair Italians faythlessnesse
112.O21.067  hauing fro%M these, suckt; all they had of worth
112.O21.068  & brought %Yw%Zhome y%5t%6 fayth, w%5c%6 you caried forth.
112.O21.069  I throughly loue, but if my selfe, I haue wonne
112.O21.070  to know my rules; I haue; & you haue Dunne,
112.O21.0SS  ffinis.
