122.C09.001  If, as mine is, thy life a slumber bee,
122.C09.002  seeme, when thou read'st these lines, to dreame on me
122.C09.003  Neuer did Morpheus nor his brother weare
122.C09.004  Shapes so like those shapes whom they would appeare
122.C09.005  As this my letter is like me, for it
122.C09.006  hath my name, wordes, hands, feet, hart, mind & witt.
122.C09.007  It is my deed of gift of me to thee
122.C09.008  It is my will, thyselfe the Legacye.
122.C09.009  So thy retyringes I loue, yea envy
122.C09.010  (bredd in thee by a wise melancholly)
122.C09.011  That I reioyce that vnto where thou art
122.C09.012  Though I stay heere, I can thus send my heart,
122.C09.013  As kindly as any enamourd Patient
122.C09.014  His Picture to his absent Loue hath sent. [CW:>>All<<]
122.C09.015  All newes, I thinke, sooner reach thee then me [72]
122.C09.016  Havens are Heavens, & shipps wing'd Angells bee
122.C09.017  The w%5ch%6 both Gospell & sterne threatnings bringe
122.C09.018  %1Guyana's%2 haruest is nipt in y%5e%6 springe
122.C09.019  I feare, And with vs, me thinkes, fate deales so
122.C09.020  As with the Iewes Guide God did; He did showe
122.C09.021  Him the rich land, but barr'd his entry in.
122.C09.022  Oh; slownesse is o%5r%6 punishment & sinne,
122.C09.023  Perchance this Spanish busines being done
122.C09.024  (which as the Earth betwixt y%5e%6 moone & Sun
122.C09.025  Ecclipse the light which Guyana would giue)
122.C09.026  Our discontinewd hopes wee shall retriue.
122.C09.027  But if (as all th'All must) hopes smoke away
122.C09.028  Is not almighty virtue an India?
122.C09.029  If men be worlds, there is in euery one
122.C09.030  Somthing to answer in some proportion
122.C09.031  All y%5e%6 worlds riches. And in good men, this
122.C09.032  Virtue, our formes forme, & o%5r%6 soules soule is.
