012.H06.001  Oh let mee not serue so as those men serue
012.H06.002  Whome hono.%5rs%6 smokes at once %Ymother%Z>%V%5fatten%6< and sterue [CW:Poorely]
012.H06.003  Poorely enrichd with greate mens words or lookes [63r]
012.H06.004  Nor so write my name in thy louing bookes
012.H06.005  As those Idolatrous flaterers w.%5ch%6 still
012.H06.006  Theyr Princes stile with many Realmes fulfill
012.H06.007  Whence they no tribute haue and where no sway.
012.H06.008  Such seruices I offer as shall pay
012.H06.009  Themselues.  I hate dead names.  O%C then let mee
012.H06.010  Fauourite in ordinary or no fauourite bee.
012.H06.011  When my soule was in her owne body sheath'd
012.H06.012  Not yet by oaths betrothd nor kisses breathd
012.H06.013  Into my Purgatory, faythlesse thee,
012.H06.014  Thy heart seemd waxe, and steele thy constancy.
012.H06.015  So carelesse flowers strowd on the waters face
012.H06.016  The curled whirlepooles suck, smack, and embrace,
012.H06.017  Yet drowne them.  So the Tapers beamy eye
012.H06.018  Amorously twinckling beckens the giddy flye
012.H06.019  Yet burnes his wings, And such the deuill is.
012.H06.020  Scarse visiting them w.%5ch%6 ar intirely his.|
012.H06.021  When I behold a streame w.%5ch%6 from the Spring
012.H06.022  Doth with doubtfull melodious murmuring
012.H06.023  Or in a speechlesse slumber calmely ride
012.H06.024  Her wedded channels bosome, and there chide
012.H06.025  And bend her browes, and swell, if any bough 
012.H06.026  Do but stoope downe to kisse her vtmost browe.
012.H06.027  Yet if her often gnawing kisses winne
012.H06.028  The trayterous banks to gape and let her in
012.H06.029  Shee rusheth violently, and doth diuorce
012.H06.030  Her from her nature->>natiue< and her long kept course
012.H06.031  And rores and braues it, and in gallant scorne
012.H06.032  In flattering eddyes promising returne [CW:Shee--]
012.H06.033  Shee floutes her channell, w.%5ch%6 thencforth growes drye [63v]
012.H06.034  Then, say I, That is shee, and this am I.
012.H06.035  Yet let not thy deepe bitternesse beget
012.H06.036  Carelesse dispayre in mee, for that will whet
012.H06.037  My mind to scorne, and o%C Loue dulld with payne
012.H06.038  Was ner'e so wise or well armd as disdayne.
012.H06.039  Then with new eyes I shall suruay thee, and spie
012.H06.040  Death in thy cheekes and darkenesse in thine eye.
012.H06.041  Though hope breede fayth and loue, thus taught, I shall
012.H06.042  (As nations doe from Rome) from thy loue fall
012.H06.043  My hate shall outgrowe thine, and vtterly
012.H06.044  I will renounce thy dalliance, and when I
012.H06.045  Am the Recusant, in that resolute state
012.H06.046  What hurts it mee to bee excom%Municate?|
