148.O30.002  in hir dead fface, halfe of yo:%5r%6 selfe shall see
148.O30.003  Shee was the other part, ffor soe they doe,
148.O30.004  w%5ch%6 buyldes them ffrindshippes, become one of two,
148.O30.005  Soe two, that but themselves, noe third, can ffitt
148.O30.006  w%5ch%6 were to bee soe, when they were not yett
148.O30.007  Twynns, though their Birth Cusco, and Musco take
148.O30.008  as divers starrs, one Constellation make
148.O30.009  Payr'd lyke two eyes, haue equall motions soe
148.O30.010  both but one meanes to see, one waye to goe,
148.O30.011  Had yo.%5w%6 dyed ffirst, a Carcase shee had beene
148.O30.012  and wee yo:%5r%6 ritch toombe, in hir fface had seene,
148.O30.013  Shee lyke the soule is gone, and yo%5u%6 heere staye
148.O30.014  not a lyve ffrind, but the other halfe of Claye
148.O30.015  And since yo.%5w%6 Acte that part, as Men saye heere
148.O30.016  lyes such a Prince, when but one part is there
148.O30.017  And doe all honno:%5r%6 and devotion due
148.O30.018  vnto the whole, soe wee all Reverence you.| [CW:ffor|]
148.O30.019  ffor such a ffrindshipp, whoe would not adore [47]
148.O30.020  In yo%5w%6, whoe %Ywere%Z>%Vare< all, whatt both were beffore
148.O30.021  Nott all, as of some perished by this
148.O30.022  but soe that in yo%5u%6, all Countracted is,
148.O30.023  As of this all, though manye partes decaye
148.O30.024  the pure, w%5ch%6 elemented them shall staye
148.O30.025  And though diffus'd, and spred in inffinites
148.O30.026  shall Recollect, and in one all vnites:
148.O30.027  Soe Maddam, as hir soule to Heaven is ffled
148.O30.028  hir fflesh restes in the earth, as in a Bedd
148.O30.029  Hir virtues doe, as to their proper Sphere
148.O30.030  retourne to dwell w%5th%6 yo%5w%6, of whome they were
148.O30.031  As p%Pffect motions, are all Circuler
148.O30.032  soe they to yo%5u%6 theyre Sea, whence lesse streames are
148.O30.033  Shee was all Spyces, yo%5w%6 all Mettalls, soe,
148.O30.034  In yo%5u%6 two, wee did both Riche Indyes knowe,
148.O30.035  And as noe ffyre, nor rust, can spend, or wast
148.O30.036  one dramme of gold, but what was ffirst shall last,
148.O30.037  Yf it bee fforc'd in water, Earth, Salt, Ayre
148.O30.038  Expansd' in inffinite, none will impayre
148.O30.039  Soe to yo:%5r%6 selfe, yo%5w%6 maye addition take
148.O30.040  but noethinge can yo%5u%6 lesse, or changed make,
148.O30.041  Seeke not, in seekinge new, to seeme to doubte
148.O30.042  that yo%5u%6 can Match hir, or not bee w%5th%6out
148.O30.043  But lett some ffaithffull Booke, in hir Roome bee
