017.H08.0HE  ELEGIE. 10%5a%6. I. D.
017.H08.001  Marry & loue thy fflauia, for shee
017.H08.002  Hath all things whereby others beauteous bee:
017.H08.003  ffor though her eyes are small, her mouth is greate
017.H08.004  Though they be ivory her teeth are iett;
017.H08.005  Though they be dimme, yet shee is light enough
017.H08.006  And though her harsh haire fall; her skin%M is rough:
017.H08.007  What though her cheekes be yellow, her haire is redd
017.H08.008  Giue her thyne, & she hath a mayden-head.
017.H08.009  These things are beautyes elements, where these
017.H08.010  Meete in one y%5t%6 one must as perfect please.
017.H08.011  If redd, & white, & each good quality
017.H08.012  Be in thy wench ne're ask where it doth lye.
017.H08.013  In buying thinges perfum'd, we ask if there
017.H08.014  Be musk or Amber in it, but not where.
017.H08.015  Though all her parts be not i'th vsuall place
017.H08.016  Yet she hath an Anagram%M of a good face.
017.H08.017  If wee might put the letters but one way
017.H08.018  In that leane dearth of words, w.%5t%6 could wee say?
017.H08.019  When by the Gamvt some Musitians make
017.H08.020  A perfect Song, others will vndertake
017.H08.021  By the same Gamut chang'd to equall it;
017.H08.022  Thinges simply good can neuer bee vnfitt:
017.H08.023  Shee's faire as any if y%5t%6 all be like her, [CW:om]
017.H08.024  And if none bee, then shee is singular. [91r]
017.H08.025  All loue is wonder; if wee iustly doe
017.H08.026  Account her wonderfull, why not louely too.
017.H08.027  Loue built on beauty soone as beauty dyes;
017.H08.028  Choose this face, chang'd by noe deformityes. [/scribal flourish]
017.H08.029  Weomen are like Angells* & the faire bee [6v]
017.H08.030  like those that turne to worse, but such as shee
017.H08.031  Like to good Angells nothing can impaire;
017.H08.032  Tis less greife to be foul, then t'haue bin faire:
017.H08.033  ffor one nights Reuells silke & gold wee choose
017.H08.034  But in long iorneys cloath & leather vse.
017.H08.035  Beauty is barren oft.  Best husbands say
017.H08.036  there is best land where is the foulest way.
017.H08.037  Oh what a Soueraigne plaister will shee bee
017.H08.038  if thy past sins haue taught thee ielousy.
017.H08.039  Here neede noe Spyes, noe Eunuches; her com%Mitt
017.H08.040  Safe to thy foes, yea to a Marmoset.
017.H08.041  When Belgiaes Cittyes the round Countryes dro*
017.H08.042  That durty foulenes guards & armes the Towne.
017.H08.043  Soe doth her face guard her, & safe for thee
017.H08.044  who forc'd by busines absent oft must bee;
017.H08.045  Shee whose face like clouds turneth day to night,
017.H08.046  Who mightier then the sea makes Mores seeme white;
017.H08.047  Who though seauen yeares shee in the Stewes had lay'd
017.H08.048  A Nunnery durst receiue & thinke a mayde;
017.H08.049  And though in childebed labour shee did lye 
017.H08.050  Midwiues would sweare t'were but a timpany;
017.H08.051  whom if she accuse herselfe I creditt lesse
017.H08.052  then witches w%5ch%6 impossibles confesse;
017.H08.053  Whom dildoes, bedstaues & her veluet glasse
017.H08.054  would be as loath to touch as Ioseph was [CW:om]
017.H08.055  One like none, & likte of none fittst were, [7r]
017.H08.056  for things in fashion euery man will >%Ybea%Z< weare.
