020.O33.001 Who euer loues, if he doe not propose
020.O33.002 The right true end of loue he's one w%5ch%6 goes
020.O33.003 To sea for nothinge but to make him sicke
020.O33.004 And loue is a beare whelpe borne, if we ore licke
020.O33.005 our loue and force it new strainge shapes to take
020.O33.006 we ere and of a monster->>lumpe< a monster make:
020.O33.007 Were not a Calfe a monster that were growne
020.O33.008 Fac'd like a man though better then his owne
020.O33.009 Perfection is in vnitye; prefer
020.O33.010 one woman first, and then one thing in her.
020.O33.011 I when I valleu gold may thinke vpon
020.O33.012 The ducktillnesse, the application
020.O33.013 The wholsomnesse, the Ingenuitye
020.O33.014 From rust %Yfuer%Z#from soyle fir->>from< fire euer free
020.O33.015 But if I loue it, t'is because tis->>it's< made
020.O33.016 By our new nature vse the soule of d->>t<rade.
020.O33.017 All these in women we might thinke vpon
020.O33.018 If women had them, but yet love but one
020.O33.019 Can men more iniure women then to say
020.O33.020 They loue them for that by w%5ch%6 they are not they
020.O33.021 make virtue women? most I coole my blood
020.O33.022 Till I d->>b<oth see and find one wise and good
020.O33.023 May barren Angeles loue soe; but if we
020.O33.024 make loue to women, vertue is not shee
020.O33.025 As beauty is not nor wealth, he that straies thus
020.O33.026 From her to hers is more Adulterous
020.O33.027 Then if he tooke her maid; search euery sphere
020.O33.028 And fermament, our Cupid is not there
020.O33.029 Hee is an Infernall God, and vnder ground
020.O33.030 w%5th%6 Plato dwells, where gold and fire abound
020.O33.031 men to such gods there sacrificinge Coales
020.O33.032 Did not on alters laye, but pits and holes.
020.O33.033 Although we see Celesteall bodies moue
020.O33.034 Aboue the earth; The earth we till, and loue
020.O33.035 So we the Ayres contemplate, words, and heart
020.O33.036 And vertues; But we loue the Centrique part
020.O33.037 Nor is the Soule more worthy or more or more fitt [f.51v
020.O33.038 For loue, then this, as infinit as it
020.O33.039 But in attaining this desired place
020.O33.040 How much they stray that set out at the face. 
020.O33.041 The haire a Forrest >%Vis< of a Ambushes
020.O33.042 of springs, snares, fetters, and manacles.
020.O33.043 The Brow becalmes vs when its smoth and plaine
020.O33.044 And when its wrinckled, shiprackes vs againe
020.O33.045 Smooth its a Parradice where we would haue
020.O33.046 Immortall stay, and wrinckled tis our graue.
020.O33.047 The nose like to the first meridean runnes
020.O33.048 not twix't an East and West but twix't two sonnes
020.O33.049 It leaues a cheeke a rosye Hemisphere
020.O33.050 on ether sid, and then direct vs where
020.O33.051 Vpon the Ilands fortunate we fall
020.O33.052 (not faint Canary but Ambrosiall)
020.O33.053 Her swelling lippes: To w%5ch%6 when we are come
020.O33.054 wee Anc>%Vh<or there, and thinke our selues at home
020.O33.055 For they seeme all. There syrens song->>sing< and all->>there<
020.O33.056 wise Delphique oracles doe fill the eare.
020.O33.057 Ther in a creeke, where Chosen pearles doe swell
020.O33.058 The Remora, her cleauing tongue doth dwell
020.O33.059 %YThere, and%Z the glorious Promentory >>%Vthen<< her chinne
020.O33.060 ore past, and the straight Helespont betweene
020.O33.061 The Sestos and Abidos of her breasts
020.O33.062 (not of two louers, but two loues the nests)
020.O33.063 Succeeds a boundlesse sea, but that thine eye
020.O33.064 Some Iland moles may scattr'd there discrie
020.O33.065 And sayling to%Ywards%Z her India, in that way 
020.O33.066 Shall at her faire Attalantique nauell stay.
020.O33.067 Though thence the currant of thy Pylatt made
020.O33.068 yet ere thou be, where thou wouls't be embayed
020.O33.069 Thou shalt vpon an other Forrest sett
020.O33.070 where some doe shipwracke and no furder get;
020.O33.071 When thou art there consider what this chase
020.O33.072 mispent, by thy beginning at the face.
020.O33.073 Rather sett out below, practice my art
020.O33.074 Some symetry the foot hath w%5th%6 that part
020.O33.075 W%5ch%6 thou dost seeke, and is the map for that 
020.O33.076 Louly enough to stop, but not stay att
020.O33.077 Least subiect to disguise, and change it is
020.O33.078 men say the Diuell neuer could->>can< change his
020.O33.079 It is the Embleme w%5ch%6 hath figur'd 
020.O33.080 Firmnesse, t'is the first parte >>%Vy%5t%6<< comes to bed
020.O33.081 Civility we see refind, the kisse   [f.52r
020.O33.082 w%5ch%6 att the %Yfirst%Z#face begunne, transplanted is
020.O33.083 Since to the hand, since to the Imperiall knee
020.O33.084 Now to->>>at<< the Papall foot delightes to be
020.O33.085 If kings thinke that the nearer way, and doe
020.O33.086 Rise from the foot, louers may doe so too
020.O33.087 For as free spheares moue faster farr then can
020.O33.088 Birds, whome the Ayre resists, so may that man
020.O33.089 W%5ch%6 goes this emptie and Etheriall way
020.O33.090 Then if att Beauties Elements he stay
020.O33.091 Rich nature hath in women wisly made
020.O33.092 Two purses, and there mouthes aversly laid
020.O33.093 They then w%5ch%6 to the lower Tribute owe
020.O33.094 That way >>w%5ch%6<< that Exchequer lookes most goe
020.O33.095 He w%5ch%6 doth not, his error is as great
020.O33.096 As who by glisters, giues the stomackes->>stomacke< meate.
