113.B07.001  Like one who in her Third widdowhood doth professe
113.B07.002  Herselfe a Nun, tired to a retirednesse,
113.B07.003  So affectes my muse, now a chaste follownes
113.B07.004  Since she to fewe, yet too to many hath showne
113.B07.005  How love song weeds, and Satyrique thornes are growen
113.B07.006  where seeds of better arte were early sowen,
113.B07.007  Though to vse, and love poetry, to me
113.B07.008  Betroth'd, to no one Art, bee no Adultery
113.B07.009  Omissions of good, Ill as ill deeds bee|
113.B07.010  ffor though to vs it seeme, and be light and thinne
113.B07.011  yet in those faithfull scales, where god throwes in
113.B07.012  mens workes, vanitie weighes as much as sinne,
113.B07.013  If our soules have stayn'd their first white, yet wee
113.B07.014  Maye cloath them w%5th%6 faith, and deare honestie,
113.B07.015  w%5ch%6 God imputes as native puritie|
113.B07.016  There is no vertue but Religion
113.B07.017  wise, valiant, sober, iust, are names w%5th%6 none,
113.B07.018  want, w%5ch%6 want not vice=coveringe discretion|
113.B07.019  Seeke wee then our selves, in our selves for as
113.B07.020  men force the sun, w%5th%6: much more force to passe
113.B07.021  By gatheringe his Beames w%5th%6. a Cristall glasse
113.B07.022  So wee if we into our selves will turne
113.B07.023  Blowinge the sparkes of vertue, may not burne,
113.B07.024  The straw, w%5ch%6: doth about our harte soiourne|
113.B07.025  You know Phisitians when they would infuse
113.B07.026  Into an oyle the soule of simples vse,
113.B07.027  Places where they maye lie still warme doe chuse [CW:So.]
