[158] 020.42a.007 Were not a Calfe a Monster, that was grown 020.42a.008 Fac't like a man, though better then his own. 020.42a.009 Perfection is in Unity, so prefer 020.42a.010 One woman first: and then one thing in her. 020.42a.011 I where I value Gold, may think upon 020.42a.012 The dactilenesse, the application; 020.42a.013 The wholesomenesse, the ingenuity; 020.42a.014 From rust, from soile, from fire forever free: 020.42a.015 But if %1I%2 love it, 'tis because its made 020.42a.016 By (our new nature) use, the soul of trade: 020.42a.017 All this in women we might think upon, 020.42a.018 If women had them; and yet love but one. 020.42a.019 Can men more injure women then to say 020.42a.020 They love for that, by which they are not they 020.42a.021 Makes virtue woman? must %1I%2 cool my blood, 020.42a.022 Till %1I%2 both finde, and see one wise and good? 020.42a.023 May barren Angels love so: But if we 020.42a.024 Make love to woman; virtue is not she; 020.42a.025 As beauty is not, nor wealth; he that strayes thus 020.42a.026 From her, to hers; is more Adulterous, 020.42a.027 Then he that took her maid. Search every, spheare, 020.42a.028 & firmament; our %1Cupid%2 is not there: 020.42a.029 He's an infernal god; and under ground 020.42a.030 With %1Pluto%2 dwells, where gold & fire abound: 020.42a.031 Men to such gods their sacrificing coales, 020.42a.032 Laid not on Altars, but in pits and holes. 020.42a.033 Although we see Celestial bodies move 020.42a.034 Above the earth, the earth we till and love, 020.42a.035 So we her heires contemplate; words & heart, [cw:And] 020.42a.036 And virtues: but we love the centrique part. [158] 020.42a.037 Nor is the soul more worthy, or more fit 020.42a.038 For love then that; as infinite as it. 020.42a.039 But in attaining this desired place, 020.42a.040 How much they erre, that set out at the face? 020.42a.041 The haire a Forrest is of ambushes, 020.42a.042 Of springs, snares, fetters, and manicles: 020.42a.043 The brow becalms us, when tis sooth & plain; 020.42a.044 And when tis wrinkled, shipwracks us again: 020.42a.045 Smooth, 'tis a Paradise, where we would have 020.42a.046 Imortal stay: and wrinkled, 'tis our grave. 020.42a.047 The nose like to the first Meridian runs, 020.42a.048 Not twixt an East, & West; but twixt two suns: 020.42a.049 It leaves a cheeke a rosey Hemispheare 020.42a.050 On either side; and then directs us where 020.42a.051 Upon the Islands fortunate we fall, 020.42a.052 Not faint Canaries; but Ambrosial, 020.42a.053 Her swelling lips: to which when we are come 020.42a.054 We anchor there, & think our selves at home: 020.42a.055 For they sing all their Syrens songs; & there 020.42a.056 Wise %1Delphique%2 Oracles do fill the eare: 020.42a.057 There in a Creek, where chosen Pearles do swell 020.42a.058 The Remora; her cleaving tongue doth dwell. 020.42a.059 Those, and the promontary faire, her chinne 020.42a.060 Ore past: and the straight Hellespont, between 020.42a.061 The Sestos and Abidos of her breasts; 020.42a.062 (Not of two Lovers, but two loves the nests) 020.42a.063 Succeeds a boundlesse Sea; but that thine eye 020.42a.064 Some Island moles may scattered there discry: 020.42a.065 And sailing towards her India in that way, [cw:Shall] 020.42a.066 Shall at her faire Atlantique Navel stay. [160] 020.42a.067 Though thence the torrent be thy Pilot made; 020.42a.068 Yet ere thou come where thou wouldest be imbay'd 020.42a.069 Thou shalt upon another forrest set: 020.42a.070 Where many shipwracke: and no farther get 020.42a.071 When thou art there. Consider well this chace 020.42a.072 Mispent; by the beginning at the face. 020.42a.073 Rather set ont below; practice my art, 020.42a.074 Some simitry the foot hath with that part 020.42a.075 Which thou dost seek; and is as Map for that; 020.42a.076 Lovely enough to stoop, but not stay at: 020.42a.077 Least subject to disguise, and change it is; 020.42a.078 Men say the Devil never can change his: 020.42a.079 It is the Emblem that hath figured 020.42a.080 Firmnesse; 'tis the first part that comes to bed. 020.42a.081 Civility we see refin'd; the kisse 020.42a.082 Which at the face begun, transplanted is 020.42a.083 Since to the hand, since to the Imperial knee, 020.42a.084 Now at the papal foot delights to be. 020.42a.085 If Kings think that the nearer way, and do 020.42a.086 Kisse from the foot, Lovers may do so too. 020.42a.087 For as free Sphears move faster far than can 020.42a.088 Birds; whom the aire resists: so may that man 020.42a.089 Which goes the empty, and AE%Ltherial wayes; 020.42a.090 Then if at beauties elements he stayes. 020.42a.091 Rich nature hath in women wisely made 020.42a.092 Two purses, and their mouths aversly laid: 020.42a.093 Thus they which to the lower tribute owe, 020.42a.094 That way which that Exchequer looks, must go; 020.42a.095 He which doth not, his error is as great, 020.42a.096 As who by glister gives the stomack meat. 020.42a.0SS %1FINIS%2. %1J.
