001.C09.001  Away thou changling motley Humorist
001.C09.002  Leaue me, & in this standing wodden chist
001.C09.003  Consorted with these few bookes lett me lye
001.C09.004  In prison, & heere be coffin'd when I dye.
001.C09.005  Heere are gods conduits, graue Diuines, & heere
001.C09.006  Natures Secretary the Philosopher,
001.C09.007  And wilye statesm[a%>>e<]n, w%5ch%6 teach how to tye
001.C09.008  The sinewes of a Cittyes mistique bodye.
001.C09.009  Heere gathering chroniclers, & by them stand
001.C09.010  Giddy phantasti%Y*%Zque Poetts of each hand.
001.C09.011  Shall I leaue all this constant Companye
001.C09.012  And follow headlong wild vncertaine Thee?
001.C09.013  >%YHee%Z<First sweare heere by thy best loue in earnest
001.C09.014  (If thou who lou'st all, can'st Loue any best)
001.C09.015  Thou wilt not leaue me in the middle street
001.C09.016  Though some more spruce companion thou dost meet
001.C09.017  Not though a Captaine doe come in thy way
001.C09.018  Bright parcell g>%Vu<ilt with 40 dead mens pay
001.C09.019  Nor though a briske p%Pfum'd pert courtier
001.C09.020  Daigne with a nodd thy %YCurtsies%Z>%5courtsies%6< to answere.
001.C09.021  Nor come a velvett Iustice with a longe
001.C09.022  Great trayne of Blewcoates 12 or 14 strong
001.C09.023  Shalt thou grinne or fawne on him, or p%5r%6pare
001.C09.024  A speech to court his beautious sonne & heire:
001.C09.025  For better or for worse take me, or, leaue me
001.C09.026  To take, and, leaue me is Adulterye.
001.C09.027  O monstrous sup%Pstitious Puritan
001.C09.028  Of refin'd manners, yet ceremoniall man
001.C09.029  That when thou meetst one, with enquiring Eyes [f.12v]
001.C09.030  Dost search & like a needy Broker prize
001.C09.031  The silke & gold he weares, & to that rate
001.C09.032  So high or low dost vaile thy formall hatt,
001.C09.033  That wilt consort with none till y%5u%6 hast knowne
001.C09.034  What Landes he hath in hope or of his owne,
001.C09.035  As though all thy companions should make thee
001.C09.036  Ioynters, & marry thy deare company.
001.C09.037  Why shouldst thou that not only dost approue
001.C09.038  But in ranke itchy lust desire & loue
001.C09.039  The nakednes & barenesse to enioy
001.C09.040  Of thy plumpe muddy why%>>whoore<, prostitute boy
001.C09.041  Hate virtue though she bee naked & bare?
001.C09.042  At birthes & deaths our bodyes naked are,
001.C09.043  And till our soules be vnapparelled
001.C09.044  Of bodyes, they from blisse be banished.
001.C09.045  Mans first best state was naked, when by sin
001.C09.046  He lost y%5t%6, he was clothd but in beasts skinne,
001.C09.047  And in this course attire which now I weare
001.C09.048  With God & with the muses I conferre.
001.C09.049  But since thou like a contrite penitent
001.C09.050  Charitably warn'd of thy sins, dost repent
001.C09.051  These vanities & giddinesses, Loe
001.C09.052  I shutt my chamber doore, & come; Letts Goe.
001.C09.053  But sooner may a cheape whoore who hath bin
001.C09.054  Worne by as many seuerall men in sin
001.C09.055  As are blacke feathers, or muske-colourd hose
001.C09.056  Name her childs true father amongst all those; [CW:>>Sooner<<]
001.C09.057  Sooner may one guesse who shall beare away [f.13]
001.C09.058  Th'Infanta of London heire to  an India;
001.C09.059  And sooner may a gulling weather-spye
001.C09.060  By drawing forth heauens scheme tell certainlye
001.C09.061  What fashiond suites or ruffes or hatts next yeare
001.C09.062  Our supple-witted anticke youths will weare
001.C09.063  Then Thou when Thou departest hence canst showe
001.C09.064  Whither, why, when, or with whom Thou wouldst goe.
001.C09.065  But how shall I be pardond mine offence
001.C09.066  That thus haue Sin'd against my conscience?
001.C09.067  Now we are in the street.  He first of all
001.C09.068  Vnprovidently proud, creepes to the wall
001.C09.069  And so emprisond & hem'd in by me
001.C09.070  Sells for a little state his libertye.
001.C09.071  Yet though he cannot now step forth to greet
001.C09.072  Euery fine painted silken foole we meet
001.C09.073  He them to him with amorous smiles allures
001.C09.074  And grinnes, smacks, shrugs, & such an itch endures
001.C09.075  As prentices & Schoolboyes which do know
001.C09.076  Of some gay sport abroad, yet dare not goe.
001.C09.077  And as Fidlers stopp low'st at highest sound
001.C09.078  So to y%5e%6 most braue stoopes he nigh'st y%5e%6 ground,
001.C09.079  But to a graue man he doth moue no more
001.C09.080  Then y%5e%6 wise polic%>>politicke< horse would heretofore
001.C09.081  Or thou O Elephant or ape wilt doe
001.C09.082  When any names the king of Spaine to you.
001.C09.083  Now leapes he vpright, ioggs me & cryes, D'yee see
001.C09.084  Yonder well fauourd youth? which? O%C tis hee
001.C09.085  That daunces so diuinely. Oh, said I
001.C09.086  Stand still, must you daunce heere for companye? [CW:om]
001.C09.087  He droopt, wee went, till one y%5t%6 did excell [f.13]
001.C09.088  Th'Indians, in drinking his tobacco well
001.C09.089  Mett vs, they talk'd, I whisperd, Lett vs goe
001.C09.090  May be you smell him not, trulye I doe.
001.C09.091  Hee heares not me, but on y%5e%6 other side
001.C09.092  A many colourd Peacocke hauing spi'd.
001.C09.093  Leaues him & me, I for my lost sheep stay,
001.C09.094  He followes, ouertakes, goes on the way,
001.C09.095  Saying, Him whom I last left, all repute
001.C09.096  For his deuise in handsoming a suite
001.C09.097  To iudge of lace, pinke pane, cut, print, or pleighte
001.C09.098  Of all the towne to haue y%5e%6 best conceite;
001.C09.099  Our dull Comedians want him, Lett him goe.
001.C09.100  But o%C God strengthen thee, why stopst y%5u%6 soe?
001.C09.101  Why he hath trauayld long, No, but to me,
001.C09.102  Who vnderstand none, he doth seeme to be
001.C09.103  Perfect French & Italian; I reply'd
001.C09.104  So is the Pox. He answerd not, but spy'd
001.C09.105  More men of sort, of parts, & qualities
001.C09.106  At last his loue hee in a window spies,
001.C09.107  And, like light dew exhald, he flinges from me
001.C09.108  Violently rauishd to his lecherye.
001.C09.109  Many were there, he could com%Mand no more
001.C09.110  He quarreld, fought, bled, & turnd out of doore,
001.C09.111  Directly came to me hanging the head
001.C09.112  And constantly a while must keepe his bed.| [CW:>>Kind<<]
