017.WN1.0HE  %XElegie          
017.WN1.001  Marry and loue thy Flauia, for shee 
017.WN1.002  Hath all things, wher by others beautious bee, 
017.WN1.003  For though her Eyes bee small, her mouth is greate,
017.WN1.004  Though they be Iuory, yet her teeth are yeat
017.WN1.005  Though they bee dimme, yet shee is light enough        
017.WN1.006  And though her harsh haires fall, her skin is rough:    
017.WN1.007  What though her cheeks bee yellow, her haire is red, 
017.WN1.008  Giue her thine and shee hath a Maydenhead.
017.WN1.009  Thes thinges are beauties elements, where these
017.WN1.010  Meete in one, and one mvst as perfect please
017.WN1.011  If redd, and white, and each good qualitie
017.WN1.012  Bee in thy Wench, nere aske wherein->>where#itt< doth lie!
017.WN1.013  In byinge things perfumd, wee aske if there
017.WN1.014  Bee mvske and Amber in it, but not where.
017.WN1.015  Though all her parts bee not in the vsuall place
017.WN1.016  Shee hath yet an Anagram of a good face;
017.WN1.017  If wee might put the letters but one waie                   
017.WN1.018  In that leane death of words, what could wee saie? [CW:when]
017.WN1.019  When by the Gamot, some mvsitians make [22]
017.WN1.020  A perfect songe, others will vndertake
017.WN1.021  By the same Gamot changd to equall itt, 
017.WN1.022  Things simplie good cann never bee vnfitt  
017.WN1.023  Shees faire as any, if all bee like her
017.WN1.024  And if none bee then shee is singuler.
017.WN1.025  All loue is wonder, if wee iustly doe
017.WN1.026  Account her wonderfull; why not louely too?
017.WN1.027  Loue built on beautie, soone as beautie dies,
017.WN1.028  Chuse this face, changd by no deformities.
017.WN1.029  Women are all like Angells: The faire bee, 
017.WN1.030  Like those which fell to worse, but such as shee, 
017.WN1.031  Like to good Angells, nothing cann impaire:
017.WN1.032  Tis lesse greife to bee foule then t'aue bin faire. 
017.WN1.033  For one nights Reuells, silke and gould wee chuse, 
017.WN1.034  But in longe iournyes, cloth and leather vse.
017.WN1.035  Beautie is barren oft: best hvsbands saie
017.WN1.036  There is best land where there is foulest waie
017.WN1.037  O what a Soueraine plaister will shee bee,       
017.WN1.038  If thy past Sins haue taught the ielousie?
017.WN1.039  Heer needs no Spies, nor Eunuches: her committ
017.WN1.040  Safe to thy foes: yea to a Marmositt
017.WN1.041  When Belgias cities the rownd countrie drowne
017.WN1.042  That durtye foulnes guards, and armes the towne; 
017.WN1.043  Soe doth her face guard her: And soe for thee, 
017.WN1.044  Which forct by businesse absent oft mvst bee
017.WN1.045  Shee whose face like clouds, turnes the daie to night, 
017.WN1.046  Who mightier then the Sea makes Moores seeme white.
017.WN1.047  Who though seven yeares shee in the Stewes had laid
017.WN1.048  A Nunnerie durst receaue, and thinke a Mayde. [CW:om]
017.WN1.049  And though in childbirths labour shee did lie; [23]
017.WN1.050  Midwiues would sweare, twere but a Timpanie
017.WN1.051  Whome if shee accuse her selfe, I creditt lesse, 
017.WN1.052  Then Witches, which impossibles confesse.
017.WN1.053om

017.WN1.055  One like non, and likt of none fittest were 
017.WN1.056  For things in fashion every man will weare.|
