122.DT1.001  If as mine is, thy life a slumber bee
122.DT1.002  Seeme, when thou read'st these lines, to dreame of mee
122.DT1.003  Neuer did Morpheus, nor his brother weare
122.DT1.004  shapes, soe like those shapes whom they would appeare
122.DT1.005  As this my letter is like mee; for it
122.DT1.006  hath my name, words, hands, feet, hart, minde, & witt.
122.DT1.007  It is my deed of guifte of mee to thee,
122.DT1.008  It is my will, my self the Legacie.
122.DT1.009  Soe thy retyreings I loue, yea envye,
122.DT1.010  Bred in thee by a wise Melancholy
122.DT1.011  That I reioyce, y%5t%6 vnto where thou art
122.DT1.012  though I stay here, I can thus send my heart
122.DT1.013  As kindly as any inamoured Patient
122.DT1.014  his Picture to his absent Loue hath sent.
122.DT1.015  All Newes, I think sooner reach thee, then mee,
122.DT1.016  Hau'ens are Heau'ens, and Shipps wing'd Angells bee, [CW:The]
122.DT1.017  The w%5ch%6 both Ghospell, & sterne threatnings bringe. [f.63v]
122.DT1.018  Guyana'es haruest is nipt in the springe
122.DT1.019  I feare: And w%5th%6 vs (mee thinkes) ffate deales soe
122.DT1.020  As w%5th%6 the Iewes-Guide God did: hee did showe
122.DT1.021  Him the ritch land, but barr'd his entry in,
122.DT1.022  oh slowness is our punishment, and sinn.
122.DT1.023  Perchance this Spanish buisines being done
122.DT1.024  W%5ch%6, as the Earth, betweene the Moone, & Sun
122.DT1.025  Ecclipse the light w%5ch%6 Guyana would giue,
122.DT1.026  Our discontinued hopes wee shall retriue:
122.DT1.027  But if (as all the All must) hopes smoake away
122.DT1.028  Is not Almighty virtue an India?
122.DT1.029  If men bee worlds, there is in euery one
122.DT1.030  something to answere in some proportion
122.DT1.031  All the worlds ritches: And in good men this,
122.DT1.032  Vertue, our fformes forme, & our Soules soule is.|
