112.Y03.001 S%5r%6 more then kisses letters mingle soules
112.Y03.002 for thus frindes absent speake, this ease controules
112.Y03.003 The tediousnes of my life, butt for these
112.Y03.004 I could inuent noe one thinge y%5t%6 could please
112.Y03.005 Butt should wither in one day & passe
112.Y03.006 to a wispe of hay w%5ch%6 am a locke of grasse
112.Y03.007 Life is a voyage, & in o%5r%6 liues way
112.Y03.008 countries, Cou%5r%6tes, Townes, are Rockes & Remoraes
112.Y03.009 They breake or stopp all shipps, yett o%5r%6 state such
112.Y03.010 though worse then pitch there staine yett wee must tutch
112.Y03.011 If in y%5e%6 fornace of y%5e%6 other line
112.Y03.012 or vnder y%5e%6 adu%5r%6se Icie poles thou pine
112.Y03.013 Thou knowest twoe temp%Pate Regions girded in
112.Y03.014 dwell there butt in this what refuge canst thou winne
112.Y03.015 Parcht in y%5e%6 Cou%5r%6te & in the Country frozen [CW:shall]
112.Y03.016 shall Citties built of both extreames bee chosen [p.72]
112.Y03.017 Can dongue or garlicke bee a p%Pfume or can
112.Y03.018 a Scorpion or Torpedoe, cure a man
112.Y03.019 Citties are worst of all three
112.Y03.020 oh knottie Riddle all are most equally
112.Y03.021 Citties are sepulchers, they w%5ch%6 dwell there
112.Y03.022 are Carcases, as none such there were
112.Y03.023 And Cou%5r%6tes are Theato%5r%6s, where some play
112.Y03.024 princes, some states, to one end & of one clay
112.Y03.025 The Country is a desert, where the good
112.Y03.026 gain'd in habitts, nott borne is nott vnderstood
112.Y03.027 There men become beasts, & prone to all euilles
112.Y03.028 in Citties blockes & in a lewd Cou%5r%6te diuelles
112.Y03.029 As in y%5e%6 first Chaos confusedlye
112.Y03.030 each eliments qualities, were in y%5e%6 other three
112.Y03.031 Soe pride, lust, Couetousnesse, beinge seuerall
112.Y03.032 to these three places yett are all in all
112.Y03.033 And mingled thus, there issue is incestuous
112.Y03.034 falshoode is denized, vertue is barbarous
112.Y03.035 Lett noe man say y%5t%6 vertues flinty wall
112.Y03.036 shall locke vice in mee; Ile doe none butt know all
112.Y03.037 Men are spunges w%5ch%6 to powre outt receiue
112.Y03.038 whoe knowes false play rather then loose deceiue
112.Y03.039 ffor in best vnderstandings sinne beganne
112.Y03.040 angelles sinn'd first, then diuelles & then man
112.Y03.041 Onely p%Pchance beasts sinne nott wretched wee
112.Y03.042 are beasts in all butt white integritie
112.Y03.043 I thinke if men w%5ch%6 in these places liue
112.Y03.044 durst looke into y%Mselues, y%Mselues retriue
112.Y03.045 They would like strangers greete y%Mselues seeing that
112.Y03.046 Vtopian youth growinge old Italionate
112.Y03.047 Bee then thy nowne home & in thy selfe dwell
112.Y03.048 in any where continuance maketh hell
112.Y03.049 And seeinge y%5e%6 snaile w%5ch%6 euery where doth rome
112.Y03.050 carryinge her owne howse still still is att home
112.Y03.051 ffollow (for hee is easie pac'd) this snaile
112.Y03.052 bee thine owne pallace or all y%5e%6 world's thy goale
112.Y03.053 And in y%5e%6 worldes sea doe nott like Corke sleepe
112.Y03.054 vppo%M y%5e%6 waters face nor in the deepe
112.Y03.055 Sinke like a leade w%5th%6out a line, butt as
112.Y03.056 fishes glide, leaueinge noe printe where they passe
112.Y03.057 Nor makeinge sound, soe closely thy cou%5r%6se goe
112.Y03.058 lett men dispute whether thou breath or noe
112.Y03.059 Only in this bee, noe gallnest[sic] to make [CW:courtes]
112.Y03.060 courtes hott ambition wholesome, doe nott take [p.73]
112.Y03.061 A dragme of Countryes dullnesse, doe nott add
112.Y03.062 correctiues butt as drinkes to cure y%5e%6 badd
112.Y03.063 Butt S:%5r%6 I aduise nott yo%5u%6 I rather doe
112.Y03.064 say ore these lessons w%5ch%6 I learnt of yo%5u%6
112.Y03.065 Whoe free from Germane scisme & lightnesse
112.Y03.066 of france & faire Italians faithlesnesse
112.Y03.067 Haueinge from these suckt all they had of worth
112.Y03.068 & brought home y%5t%6 faith w%5ch%6 yo%5u%6 carryed forth
112.Y03.069 I throughly loue, butt if my selfe I haue wonne
112.Y03.070 to knowe my rules, I haue & yo%5u%6 haue Dunne
