010.O20.0HE  Elegye.  
010.O20.001  Once, and but once found in thy Companie,
010.O20.002  All thy suppos'd Escapes are layd on mee;
010.O20.003  And as a Thiefe at Barr, is question'd there,
010.O20.004  By all the men, that haue bin rob'd that yeare.
010.O20.005  So am I, (by thys Trayterous meanes surprisd)
010.O20.006  By thy Hydroptique father catechiz'd.
010.O20.007om
010.O20.008om
010.O20.009  Though he hath oft sworne, that he wold remoue
010.O20.010  Thy beautyes beauty, and food of our loue,
010.O20.011  Hope of hys Goods, if I w%5th%6 Thee weare seene,
010.O20.012  Yett close and secrett, as our Soules, wee haue beene.
010.O20.013  Though thy Immortall mother, w%5ch%6 doth lye
010.O20.014  Still buryed in her bed, yett will not dye,
010.O20.015  Takes thys aduantage to Sleepe out day light,
010.O20.016  And watch thy Entryes, and retornes all Night.
010.O20.017  And when she takes thy hand, and wold seeme kind,
010.O20.018  Doth search what rings, and Armeletts, She ca%M find,
010.O20.019  And kissing notes the Color of thy face;
010.O20.020  And fearing least thou art swolne, doth Thee embrace;
010.O20.021  To try, if thou long, doth name strange meates,
010.O20.022  And noates thy Palenes, blushings, sighes, & sweates;
010.O20.023  And politiquely will to Thee confesse
010.O20.024  The sinns of her owne youths ranke lustines,
010.O20.025  Yett loue these Sorceryes did remoue, and moue
010.O20.026  Thee to gull thyne owne Mother for my loue.
010.O20.027  Thy litle brethren, w%5ch%6 like faery Sprights   
010.O20.028  Oft skipt into Our chamber those sweete Nights, [CW:om]
010.O20.029  And kist, and ingled on thy fathers knee, [18]
010.O20.030  Weare bribd next day, to tell what they did see;
010.O20.031  The Grimm- eight- foote- high- Iron- bound Servingma%M,
010.O20.032  That oft names God in Oaths, and only than
010.O20.033  Hee that to barr the first gate, doth as wide,
010.O20.034  As the greate Rhodian Colossus stride,
010.O20.035  W%5ch%6 if in Hell no Other paynes there weare,
010.O20.036  Makes mee feare Hell, because he must be there.
010.O20.037  Though by thy father, he were hir'd for thys,
010.O20.038  Cold neuer wittnes any Touch or kisse.
010.O20.039  But oh, too Common Ill, I brought w%5th%6 Mee,
010.O20.040  That w%5ch%6 betrayd mee to my Enimye.
010.O20.041  A loude perfume, w%5ch%6 at my Entrance cryed
010.O20.042  Euen at thy fathers Nose, so wee weare spyed.
010.O20.043  When like a Tyrant King that in hys bed,
010.O20.044  Smelt Gunpouder, the pale wretch shiuered.
010.O20.045  Had it bin some bad smell, he wold haue thought,
010.O20.046  That hys owne feete, or breath that smell had wrought.
010.O20.047  But as wee in Our Ile emprisoned,
010.O20.048  Where Cattell only, and diuerse doggs are bred,
010.O20.049  The Pretious Vnicornes strange monsters call,
010.O20.050  So thought he good strange, that had none at all;
010.O20.051  I taught my silkes, theyre whispering[Mvar:>>whistling<< to forbeare,
010.O20.052  Euen my opprest shoes, dumbe, and speechles weare.
010.O20.053  Only thou bitter sweete, whom I had layd
010.O20.054  Next mee, Mee trayterously hast betrayd.
010.O20.055  And vnsuspected hast invisiblye [CW:om]
010.O20.056  At once fled vnto him, and stayd w%5th%6 mee. [18v]
010.O20.057  Base Excrement of Earth, w%5ch%6 dost confound
010.O20.058  Sence, from distinguishing the sicke fro%M sound;
010.O20.059  By Thee, the seely amorous suckes hys death,
010.O20.060  By drawing in a leaprous harlotts breath.
010.O20.061  By Thee, the greatest stayne to mans Estate,
010.O20.062  Falls on Vs, to be call'd Effeminate.
010.O20.063  Though you bee much lou'd in the Princes hall,
010.O20.064  These thinges that seeme, exceede substantiall.
010.O20.065  Gods, when you fum'd on Altars, weare pleasd well,
010.O20.066  Because you were burnt, not that they lik'd your smell.
010.O20.067  You are lothsome all, beeing taken simply alone,
010.O20.068  Shall wee loue ill thinges ioynd, and hate each One?
010.O20.069  Yf you weare Good, your Good doth soone decay,
010.O20.070  And you are rare, that takes the Good away.
010.O20.071  All my Perfumes, I giue most willingly,
010.O20.072  To embalme thy father Coarse; What will he Dye?|
