014.O16.001 Till I have Peace with thee warre other Men
014.O16.002 And when I have Peace can I leave thee then?
014.O16.003 All other warrs are 'scrupulous; only Thow
014.O16.004 Oh fayre, free Citty! mayst thy selfe allow
014.O16.005 To any one; In %1Flanders%2, who can tell
014.O16.006 Whether y%5e%6 M%5r%6, %1Peeres%2, or Men, rebell.
014.O16.007 Only we know y%5t%6, w%5ch%6 all %1Idiotts%2 say
014.O16.008 They beare most blowes, y%5t%6 come to part a fray:
014.O16.009 %1France%2 in her Lunatick giddiness, did hate
014.O16.010 Ever o%5r%6 men; yea & o%5r%6 God of late:
014.O16.011 Yet she relyes vpon o%5r%6 Angells well
014.O16.012 W%5ch%6 ne're returne, no more then they w%5ch%6 fell:
014.O16.013 Sick %1Ireland%2, is w%5th%6 strange warre possest,
014.O16.014 Like to an Ague, now raging, now at rest
014.O16.015 W%5ch%6 tyme will cure; yet it must doe her good
014.O16.016 If she were purgd, & her head veyne lett blood:
014.O16.017 And %1Midas%2 ioyes, r->>o%5r%6< spanish iowrneys give
014.O16.018 We towch all gold, but find no food to live.
014.O16.019 And I showld be in y%5t%6 hote parching Clime 
014.O16.020 To dust & Ashes turnd, before my tyme
014.O16.021 To mew me in a ship, is to enthrall
014.O16.022 Me in a Prison y%5t%6 were like to fall;
014.O16.023 Or in a Cloyster; save y%5t%6 there Men dwell
014.O16.024 In a calme heaven; heere in a swaggering Hell.
014.O16.025 Longe Voiages, are longe Co'nsumptions
014.O16.026 And ships are Carts for Executions;
014.O16.027 Yea, they'are Deaths; Is't not all one to fly
014.O16.028 Into another world, as tis to dye?
014.O16.029 Heere let me warre; in these armes let me lye
014.O16.030 Heere let me parly, batter, bleed & dye;
014.O16.031 Thine Armes imprison Me, & myne armes thee
014.O16.032 Thy heart y%5e%6 ransome is; take myne for Me
014.O16.033 Other Men warre, y%5t%6 they theyr rest may gayne [f. 34
014.O16.034 But we will rest y%5t%6 we may fight agayne,
014.O16.035 Those warrs y%5e%6 Ignorant, these th'experienc'd, love
014.O16.036 There, we are allways vnder, heere, above
014.O16.037 There, Engines farr off, breed a iust trew feare
014.O16.038 Neare thrust Pikes, stabbs, yea Bulletts, hurt not heere;
014.O16.039 There, Lyes, are wrongs; heere safe-vprightly lye:
014.O16.040 There, Men kill Men; wee'le make one by & by:
014.O16.041 Thow nothinge, I not halfe so much, shall doe
014.O16.042 In these warrs, as they, w%5ch%6 from vs two
014.O16.043 Shall springe: Thowsands we see w%5ch%6 travell not
014.O16.044 To warre, but stay swords Armes & shott
014.O16.045 To make at home;. And shall not I doe then
014.O16.046 More glorious service, staying to make Men.|
