020.H08.0HE  I. D.  Loues Progresse.
020.H08.001  Who euer loues if hee doe not propose
020.H08.002  The right true end of loue, hee's one y%5t%6 goes
020.H08.003  To sea for nothing but to make him sick.
020.H08.004  Loue is a beare=whelp borne; if we ore-lick
020.H08.005  Our loue, & force it new strange shapes to take
020.H08.006  Wee erre; & of a lump, a monster make.
020.H08.007  Were not a calfe a monster, y%5t%6 were growne
020.H08.008  fac'de like a man, though better y%5n%6 his owne?
020.H08.009  Perfection is in vnity: preferre
020.H08.010  One woman first, & then one thing in her.
020.H08.011  I when I value gold may thinke vpon
020.H08.012  The ductillenesse, the application,
020.H08.013  The wholesomenes, the ingenuity
020.H08.014  from rust, from soyle, from fire for eu%5r%6 free:
020.H08.015  But if I loue it, tis because tis made:
020.H08.016  (By our new Nature, Vse) the soule of trade
020.H08.017  All these in woman we might thinke vpon
020.H08.018  (If women had them) & yet loue but one.
020.H08.019  Can men more iniure women then to say
020.H08.020  they loue for that, by which they are not they?
020.H08.021  Makes vertue woman?  must I coole my bloud
020.H08.022  till I both see & finde on wise & good?
020.H08.023  Let barren Angells loue soe; but if wee
020.H08.024  Make loue to women, vertue is not shee;
020.H08.025  As beauty is not, nor wealth: he y%5t%6 strayes thus [CW:om]
020.H08.026  ffrom her to hirs is more adulterous [34r]
020.H08.027  Then hee that tooke her mayde: search eu%5r%6y spheare
020.H08.028  And firmament, our Cupid is not there.
020.H08.029  Hee's an infernall god, & vnder ground,
020.H08.030  With Pluto dwells, where gold & fire abound:
020.H08.031  Men to such gods their sacrificing coles
020.H08.032  Did not on altars lay, but pitts & holes.
020.H08.033  Although wee see celestiall bodyes moue
020.H08.034  Aboue the earth, the earth wee till & loue:
020.H08.035  So wee her aires contemplate, wordes & heart,
020.H08.036  And vertues, but wee loue the Centrick part
020.H08.037  Nor is the soule more worthy or more fitt
020.H08.038  for loue then this, as infinite as it.
020.H08.039  But in attaining this desired place
020.H08.040  How much they erre who sett out at y%5e%6 face?
020.H08.041  The haire a forrest is of ambushes,
020.H08.042  of springes, snares, fetters & manacles.
020.H08.043  The brow becalmes vs when tis smooth & plain
020.H08.044  And when tis wrinckled shipwracks vs againe.
020.H08.045  Smooth, tis a Paradise, where we would haue
020.H08.046  Immortall stay, but wrinckled tis our graue.
020.H08.047  The nose like to the first Meridian runns
020.H08.048  Not 'twixt an East & West, but 'twixt two Sunns
020.H08.049  It leaues a cheeke a rosy Hemy-spheare
020.H08.050  On either side, & then directs vs where
020.H08.051  Vpon the Ilands ffortunate wee fall
020.H08.052  Not faint Canaryes, but Ambrosiall.
020.H08.053  Their swelling lippes, to w%5ch%6 when we are come
020.H08.054  Wee anchor there, & thinke ourselues at home: [CW:om]
020.H08.055  ffor they seeme all: There Syrens songes, & there [34v]
020.H08.056  Wise Delphick Oracles doe fill the eare:
020.H08.057  Then in a Creeke where chosen pearles doe swell
020.H08.058  The Remora her cleauing tongue doth dwell;
020.H08.059  These, & the glorious Promontory her chinn
020.H08.060  Being pass'd, the straight of Hellespont betweene
020.H08.061  The Sestos & Abidos of her breastes
020.H08.062  (Not of two louers but two loues the neste)
020.H08.063  Succeedes a boundless sea, but y%5t%6 thyne eye
020.H08.064  Some Iland moles may scattered there discrye:
020.H08.065  And sailing towards her India in that way
020.H08.066  Shallt at her faire Atlantique Nauell stay:
020.H08.067  Though thence the current bee thy Pilott made,
020.H08.068  Yet e're thou bee where thou wouldst bee embay'd,
020.H08.069  Thou shalt vpon another forrest sett,
020.H08.070  Where many shipwrack, & noe farther gett.
020.H08.071  When thou art there, consider, thou thy chace
020.H08.072  Mak'st longer by beginning at y%5e%6 face;
020.H08.073  Rather sett out belowe, practise my art,
020.H08.074  Some Symmetry the foote hath w%5th%6 that part,
020.H08.075  Which thou doest seeke; & is a mapp for that
020.H08.076  Louely enough to stopp, but not stay at.
020.H08.077  Least subiect to disguise & change it is,
020.H08.078  Men say the Deuill neuer can change his:
020.H08.079  It is the Embleme that hath figured
020.H08.080  firmenes: tis the first part that comes to bedd.
020.H08.081  Ciuility wee see refin'de, the kisse
020.H08.082  (w%5ch%6 at the face begun) transplanted is; [CW:om]
020.H08.083  Since to the hand, since to th'imperiall knee, [35r]
020.H08.084  Now at the Papall foote delights to bee;
020.H08.085  If Kings thinke that the nearer way, & doe
020.H08.086  Rise from the foote, louers may doe so too.
020.H08.087  ffor as free spheares moue faster farr then can
020.H08.088  Birds whom the aire resistes, so may that man
020.H08.089  (w%5ch%6 goes this empty & etheriall way)
020.H08.090  Then if at beautyes elements hee stay.
020.H08.091  Rich Nature hath in women wisely made
020.H08.092  Two purses, & their mouthes auersly layde:
020.H08.093  They then, w%5ch%6 to the lower tribute owe,
020.H08.094  That way w%5ch%6 that Exchequer lookes must goe:
020.H08.095  He w.%5ch%6 doth not, his error is as great,
020.H08.096  As who by glister giues the stomack meate.
