012.NY1.0HE  %1Elegia%2. 5%5ta%6.
012.NY1.001  Oh lett not me serue so, as those men serue [p.11]
012.NY1.002  Whome Hono%5rs%6 smoaks at once fatten & sterue:
012.NY1.003  Poorly enrich't w%5th%6 great mens words or lookes;
012.NY1.004  Nor so write my name in thy louing books
012.NY1.005  As those idolatrouse flatterers w%5ch%6 still
012.NY1.006  Theire princes stiles w%5th%6 many realmes fullfill.
012.NY1.007  Whence they noe tribute haue, & where noe swaye [CW:om]
012.NY1.008  Such seruices I offer as shall pay [p.12]
012.NY1.009  Themselus; I hate dead names: oh then let mee
012.NY1.010  ffauorite in ordinarie, or noe fauorite bee.
012.NY1.011  When my soule was in her owne bodie sheath'd
012.NY1.012  Nor yet by oaths betroth'd, nor kisses breath'd
012.NY1.013  Into my purgatorie, faithlesse thee
012.NY1.014  Thy harte seem'd wax, & steele thy constancie
012.NY1.015  Soe carelesse flowres straw'd on the waters face
012.NY1.016  The curled whirlpooles, sucke, smack, & embrace,
012.NY1.017  Yet drown them; soe the tapers bearing eie
012.NY1.018  Amourously twinckling, beckens the giddy flye
012.NY1.019  Yet burns his wings: and such the Deuill is
012.NY1.020  Scarce visiting them that are intirly his.
012.NY1.021  When I beheild, a streame w%5ch%6 from the spring
012.NY1.022  Doth w%5th%6 doubtfull melodiouse murmuringe
012.NY1.023  Or in a speechlesse slumber calmly ride.
012.NY1.024  Her wedded channells bosome, & there chide
012.NY1.025  And bend her browes & swell, if any boughe 
012.NY1.026  Doe but stoope downe to kisse her [space] browe;
012.NY1.027  Yet if her often gnawing kisses winn
012.NY1.028  The trayterouse banke to gape & lett her in:
012.NY1.029  She rusheth violently, & doth diuorce
012.NY1.030  Her from her natiue & her long kept course,
012.NY1.031  And rores & braues it, & in gallant scorne
012.NY1.032  In flattering eddies promising retourne
012.NY1.033  She flouts the channell who thencforth is dry
012.NY1.034  Then say I that is shee and this am I. [CW:om]
012.NY1.035  Yet let not thy deep bitternesse, begett [p.13]
012.NY1.036  Carelesse despayre in me, for that will whett
012.NY1.037  My mynd to scorne, and oh loue dull'd w%5th%6 paine
012.NY1.038  Was ne'er so wise nor well ar'md as disdayne
012.NY1.039  Then w%5th%6 new eies I shall surveigh thee & spie
012.NY1.040  Death in thy cheeks & darknesse in thy eie.
012.NY1.041  Though hope breed faith & loue, thus taught I shall
012.NY1.042  As nations doe from %1Roome%2, from thy loue fall.
012.NY1.043  My hate shall outgrow thine, and vtterlye
012.NY1.044  I will renounce thy dalliance: and when I
012.NY1.045  Am recusant in that resolute state
012.NY1.046  What hurts it mee to be'excommunicate?
