017.B10.HE1 %XD. D. A Paradoxe on a foule woman.
017.B10.001 Marrye & loue thy Flauia, for shee
017.B10.002 Hath all things wherin others beautious bee.
017.B10.003 What though her lipps be smale? her mouth is great. [CW:Her]
017.B10.004 Her lipps though Iuorye, yett her teeth are Iett, [f.8
017.B10.005 Though h'r eyes be dimme, yett is shee light enough,
017.B10.006 And though her harsh hayre fall, her skin is rough.
017.B10.007 What though her cheeks be yellow, perhaps readd,
017.B10.008 Giue her thine, & shee hath a Mayden head.
017.B10.009 These things are beautyes Elements, where these
017.B10.010 Doe meete in one, y%5t%6 creature needs must please.
017.B10.011 If redd & white, & each good quallitye
017.B10.012 Bee in thy wench, nere aske where they doe lye.
017.B10.013 In bying things perfum'd wee aske if there
017.B10.014 Bee muske & amber in y%5m%6, butt not where.
017.B10.015 Though all y%5e%6 parts bee not in y'vsuall place,
017.B10.016 Yett sh'hath y%5e%6 Anagram of a good face.
017.B10.017 If wee would putt y%5e%6 letters butt one way,
017.B10.018 In y%5t%6 learne dearth of words, what could wee say?
017.B10.019 When by Gammut some musitians make
017.B10.020 A perfect songe, others, will vndertake
017.B10.021 By y%5e%6 same Gammut chang'd to ae%Lquall it.
017.B10.022 Things simply good can neuer bee vnfit
017.B10.023 Shees fayre as any, if y%5t%6 all be like her, **
017.B10.024 And if none bee, y%5n%6 is shee singular.
017.B10.025 All loue is wonderfull, if wee iustly doe
017.B10.026 Account her wonderfull, why not louely too?
017.B10.027 Loue built on beautye, soone as beautye dyes,
017.B10.028 Choose this face chang'd by no deformityes.
017.B10.029 Women are like Angells, y%5e%6 fayrer bee
017.B10.030 Like those y%5t%6 fell to worse, butt such as shee
017.B10.031 Like y%5e%6 good Angells nothinge can impare.
017.B10.032 'Tis lesse griefe to be foule, y%5n%6 t'haue bin fayre.
017.B10.033 For one nights reuells silke & gold wee chuse,
017.B10.034 Butt for longe iourneys cloth, & leather vse.
017.B10.035 Beautye is barren, oft best husbands say
017.B10.036 There is best land, where is y%5e%6 foulest way.
017.B10.037 O, what a Souereigne Medicine would shee bee
017.B10.038 If thy past sinns haue taught thee Iealousye.
017.B10.039 Heere needs no spyes, no Eunuchs: her commit
017.B10.040 Safe to thy foe, eye, to thy Marmosett.
017.B10.041 When Belgias seas low-countrey-Cittyes drowne,
017.B10.042 The durty fowlnesse guar** & arms a towne:
017.B10.043 So doth her face gaurd all from her, saue thee
017.B10.044 When forc't for businesse absent thou must bee
017.B10.045om

017.B10.047 Her, though 7 yeares shee in a stews had layd, [CW:A, Nun:]
017.B10.048 A Nunnerye darst receaue, & thinke a Mayd. [f.8v
017.B10.049 And though in child-birth labour shee did lye,
017.B10.050 Midwiues darst sweare 'twere butt a Tympany.
017.B10.051 Whom (if sh'accuse herselfe) theyle credite lesse
017.B10.052 Then witches w%5c%6h Impossible confesse.
