012.B32.001  Oh, lett me not serue so, as those men serue
012.B32.002  Whom honors smoakes at once fatten & sterue;
012.B32.003  Poorelye enrich't w%5th%6 great mens words or lookes
012.B32.004  Nor to write my name in thy loveing bookes
012.B32.005  As those Idolatrous Flatterers; which still
012.B32.006  Theyre Princes stiles, w%5th%6 many Realmes fullfill,
012.B32.007  Whence they no Tribute haue, and where no sway.
012.B32.008  Such seruices I offer, as shall pay
012.B32.009  Themselues, I hate dead names: Oh then lett mee
012.B32.010  Favorite in Ordinarye, or no Fauorite bee.
012.B32.011  When my Soule was in her owne Bodye. sheath'd
012.B32.012  Nor yett by Oathes betroth'd nor kisses breath'd
012.B32.013  Into my Purgatorye; Faythlesse Thee,
012.B32.014  Thy hart seem'd wax, and steele thy Constancee.
012.B32.015  Soe carelesse flowers straw'd on the waters face
012.B32.016  The Curled whirlepooles sucke, smacke, & embrace,
012.B32.017  Yett drowne them: so the Tapers beamy Eye
012.B32.018  Amorously twincklinge, beckens the giddye flye,
012.B32.019  Yett burnes his wings; and such the Devill ys,
012.B32.020  Scarce visiting them who are intyrely his.
012.B32.021  When I behold a stream, which from the springe
012.B32.022  Doth with doubtfull melodious murmuringe
012.B32.023  Or in a speechlesse slumber calmely ride
012.B32.024  Her wedded channells bosome, and then chide,
012.B32.025  And bend her browes, and swell if any bowe
012.B32.026  Do but stoope downe to kisse her vpmost browe; [CW:om]
012.B32.027  Yett if her often gnawing kisses win, [99v]
012.B32.028  the trayterous bancke to gape, & lett her in,
012.B32.029  She rusheth violentlye, and doth divorse
012.B32.030  Her from her natiue, and her long kept course,
012.B32.031  And rores, and braues yt, and in gallant skorne
012.B32.032  In flattering eddyes promising retorne.
012.B32.033  She floutes the Channell, who thence forth is drye
012.B32.034  Then say I that >%Vis< shee, and this am I;
012.B32.035  Yett lett not thy deepe bitternes begett
012.B32.036  Carelesse Despayre in mee, for that will whett
012.B32.037  My mynde to skorne; And oh love duld with Payne
012.B32.038  Was nere so wise, nor well arm'd as Disdayne;
012.B32.039  Then with newe Eyes I shall survay Thee, and spye
012.B32.040  Death in thy cheekes, and darknes in thy Eye;
012.B32.041  Though Hope breede fayth & love. thus taught I shall
012.B32.042  As nations doe from Rome, from thy love fall.
012.B32.043  My hate shall out growe thyne, & vtterlye
012.B32.044  I will renounce thy dalliance: and when I
012.B32.045  Am the Recusant, in that resolute state
012.B32.046  What hurtes yt me to bee Excomunicate?
