012.SN4.001 O'h let not mee serue soe, as those Men serue
012.SN4.002 whome honno.%5rs%6 smokes at once flatter and sterue,
012.SN4.003 Poorely enrich'd w%5th%6 greate Mens wordes or lookes;
012.SN4.004 Nor soe write my name in thy loving bookes
012.SN4.005 As those Idolatrous fflatterers, w%5ch%6 still
012.SN4.006 Their Princes Styles w.%5th%6 many Realmes fullfill
012.SN4.007 Whence they noe tribute haue, and wheare noe sway.
012.SN4.008 Such services I offer, as shall pay %Ythem%Z
012.SN4.009 Themselues; I hate dead names, oh then let mee
012.SN4.010 ffauorite in ordinarye, or noe ffauourite bee.
012.SN4.011 When my Soule was in myne owne body sheath'd
012.SN4.012 Not yet by oathes betroth'd, nor kisses breath'd
012.SN4.013 Into my Purgatorye faithlesse Thee,
012.SN4.014 Thy %1Harte%2 seem'd waxe, and steele thy Constancee.
012.SN4.015 Soe carelesse fflowers strewde on the waters fface,
012.SN4.016 The curled whirlepooles sucke, smack, and embrace, 
012.SN4.017 Yet drowne them; soe the Tapers beamy eye
012.SN4.018 Amourously twinckling beckens the gyddy ffly,
012.SN4.019 Yet burnes his winges; and such the Devill is,
012.SN4.020 Scarse visiting those who are entyrely his.
012.SN4.021 When I behold a Streame w.%5ch%6 from the Springe
012.SN4.022 Doth w%5th%6 doubtfull melodious murmering,
012.SN4.023 Or in a speechlesse slumber calmely ryde,
012.SN4.024 His wedded Channells bosome, and theare chyde,
012.SN4.025 And bend hir browes, and swell if any bowe,
012.SN4.026 Doe but stoope downe to kisse hir vpmost browe:
012.SN4.027 Yet if hir often gnawing=kisses winn
012.SN4.028 The traterous bancke to gape and lett hir in,
012.SN4.029 Shee rusheth violently too->>and< doth diuorce
012.SN4.030 Hir from hir natiue, and hir longe kept Course,
012.SN4.031 And roares and braues it, and in gallant skorne, [f. 22v]
012.SN4.032 In flattering eddyes promising retourne
012.SN4.033 Shee floutes hir channell who thenceforth is dry:
012.SN4.034 Then say I, That is Shee, and This am I.
012.SN4.035 Yet let not thy deepe bitternesse begett
012.SN4.036 Carelesse neglect in mee, for that will whett
012.SN4.037 My mynde to skorne, and of Loue dull'd w%5th%6 payne,
012.SN4.038 was ne're soe wise, nor soe well arm'd as Disdayne.
012.SN4.039 Then w%5th%6 newe Eyes I shall survey thee, and spye
012.SN4.040 Deathe in thy Cheekes, and darkenesse in thyne Eye.
012.SN4.041 Thoughe Hope bredd Fayth, and Loue, thus taught I shall
012.SN4.042 (As Nations doe from Rome) from thy %1Loue%2 fall.
012.SN4.043 My hate shall oute growe thyne, and vtterly
012.SN4.044 I will renounce thy Dallyance; and when I
012.SN4.045 Am the Recusant in that resolute state,
012.SN4.046 what hurtes it mee to bee excom%Municate.|
