015.H03.001  Come Madam come, all rest my power defie

015.H03.005  Of with that Girdle like heau'ns Zone glistringe
015.H03.006  But a far fairer world incompasseinge
015.H03.007  Vnpin that spangled breaste plate that yo%5w%6 weare

015.H03.009  Vnlace yo%5r%6 self for that Hermonius[var.>>Harmonius<<] chime
015.H03.010  Tells me from you that nowe 'tis yo%5r%6 bed tyme
015.H03.011  Of with that happie Bushe which I enuie
015.H03.012  That still will be and still will stand soe nighe
015.H03.013  Your gowne goeinge off, such beateous state reveales
015.H03.014  As when from flowery meades, Hills shadowes steales
015.H03.015  Of with that wiery Coronett and show

015.H03.019  In suche white robes, heau'ns Angells vse to be
015.H03.020  Receiu'd by men: thou Angell bring'st with thee
015.H03.021  A Heauen like Mahomets Paradice, and thoughe
015.H03.022  All spirits walke in white, we easily knowe
015.H03.023  By this these Angells from an euill Spriht->>Spritt<.|
015.H03.024  They set our haires, but these our flesh vpright

015.H03.027  O my America my new found lande
015.H03.028  My kingdom's safest when w%5t%6h one man man'd
015.H03.029  My mine of precious stones, my Empery
015.H03.030  Howe bles't am I in this discouering thee.| [CW:om]
015.H03.033  Full nakednesse all ioyes, are due to thee [18v]
015.H03.034  As soules vnbodyed, bodies vncloth'd would bee
015.H03.035  To taste whose[var.>>whole<<] Ioyes; Gems that yo%5w%6 weomen vse
015.H03.036  Are as Atlanta's balls caste in mens views
015.H03.037  That when a fooles eye lighteth on a gem
015.H03.038  His earthly soule might couet theirs not them
015.H03.039  Like pictures or like gay bookes Coueringes made
015.H03.040  For laymen are all weomen thus array'd
015.H03.041  Themselus are mistique bookes, which onely wee

015.H03.043  Muste see reveald; then sweet that I may knowe

015.H03.045  Thy self caste all, yea this white linnen hence
015.H03.046  There is noe pennance due to Innocence.|
015.H03.031  To enter into these bonds is to be free
015.H03.032  There where by hand is set my seale should bee
015.H03.047  To teache the I am naked first why, than
015.H03.048  what needst thou haue more coueringe than a Man.|
