018.H05.0HE  Elegy on his M%5rs%6 desire to be disguised, /and to goe like a Page with him.|
018.H05.001  By our first strange and fatall enter-viewe,
018.H05.002  by all desires w%5ch%6 thereof did ensue,
018.H05.003  by our longe starvinge hopes, by that remorse
018.H05.004  w%5ch%6 my words Masculine persuasiue force
018.H05.005  begott in thee, and by the memory
018.H05.006  of hurtes, w%5ch%6 spyes and Rivalls threatned me,
018.H05.007  I calmely begge; but by thy parents wrath,
018.H05.008  by all paines, w%5ch%6 want and divorcement hath,
018.H05.009  I coniure thee, and all the oaths, w%5ch%6 I
018.H05.010  and thou haue sworne, to seale ioynt constancy,
018.H05.011  here I vnsweare, and ouer-sweare them thus
018.H05.012  thou shalt not loue by meanes soe dangerous.
018.H05.013  Temper, o faire Loue, loues impetuous rage,
018.H05.014  be my true Mistresse still, not my faind' Page.
018.H05.015  Il'e goe, and by thy kind leaue, leaue behind
018.H05.016  thee, only worthy to nurse in my mind
018.H05.017  thirst to come backe; O! yf thou dy before
018.H05.018  from other landes my soule t'ward thee shall soare.
018.H05.019  thy, els allmighty, beauty cannot moue
018.H05.020  rage from the Seas, nor thy loue teach them loue,
018.H05.021  nor tame wild Boreas harshnes; thou has't read
018.H05.022  howe roughly he, in pieces shivered
018.H05.023  fayre Orythea, whome, he swore, he lou'd:
018.H05.024  fall ill or good, 'tis madnes to haue prou'd
018.H05.025  dangers vn-vrg'd; feede on this flattery,
018.H05.026  that absent frendes one in the other be.
018.H05.027  dissemble nothinge, not a boy, nor change
018.H05.028  thy bodies habit, nor mind;  be not strange
018.H05.029  to thy selfe only;  all will spy in thy face
018.H05.030  a blushinge womanly discoveringe grace:
018.H05.031  richly clothd' Apes, are call%Ye%Z>'<d Apes, and assoone
018.H05.032  Eclipsd', as bright, we call the Moone the Moone. [CW:om]
018.H05.033  Men of ffrance, changeable chameleons, [142v]
018.H05.034  Spittles of Diseases, Shops of Fashions;
018.H05.035  liues fuellers, and the rightest company
018.H05.036  of Players, w%5ch%6 vpon the Worlds stage be,
018.H05.037  will quickly knowe thee, and alas
018.H05.038  th' Indifferent Italian, as we passe
018.H05.039  his warme land, well content to thinke thee Page,
018.H05.040  will hunt thee, with such Lust, and hideous rage,
018.H05.041  as Lotts faire guests were vexd'; but none of these,
018.H05.042  nor spungy Hydroptique Dutch, shall thee displease
018.H05.043  yf thou stay here;  O stay here, for, for thee
018.H05.044  England is only a worthy Gallery
018.H05.045  to walke in expectation, till from thence
018.H05.046  our greatest kinge call thee to his presence.
018.H05.047  When I am gone, dreame me some happines,
018.H05.048  nor let thy lookes our long-hid loue Confesse,
018.H05.049  nor prayse nor disprayse me; nor blesse nor curse,
018.H05.050  Openly, loues force; nor in bed fright thy Nurse
018.H05.051  with Mid-night startinges, cryinge out, oh! oh!
018.H05.052  Nurse, o my loue is slayne; I sawe hime goe
018.H05.053  o're the White Alpes alone, I sawe him, I
018.H05.054  asayld', fight, taken, stabbd', bleede, fall and dy:
018.H05.055  Augure me better chance, except dread Ia->>o<ue
018.H05.056  thinke it ynough for me t' haue had thy loue.
