022.F07.0HE  A Expostulation
022.F07.001  To make the doubt cleare, that no womans true
022.F07.002  was it my fate to proue it strong in you;
022.F07.003  thought I but one had breathed purest ayre
022.F07.004  and must you needs be false, because youre faire
022.F07.005  is it your beauties marke, or of your youth
022.F07.006  or your perfection not to study truth
022.F07.007  or thinke you heauen is death or hath no eies
022.F07.008  or those it hath, smile at your perjuries
022.F07.009  are vowes so cheape with women, or the matter
022.F07.010  where of they are made that are writt in water
022.F07.011  and blowne awaie with wind; Or they breath
022.F07.012  (both hott & cold) at once both life and death
022.F07.013  whoe could haue thought soe many accents sweet
022.F07.014  form'd into wordes, so many sighes should meete
022.F07.015  as from our hearts, soe many oathes & teares
022.F07.016  sprinkled among (all sweetned by our feares
022.F07.017  and the devine impression of stolne kisses
022.F07.018  that seal'd the rest, should now proue empty blisses
022.F07.019  did you draw bonds to forfet; signe to breake
022.F07.020  or must wee read quit from what you speake,
022.F07.021  or find the truth out the wrong waie; or must
022.F07.022  he first desire you false, would wish you Iust;
022.F07.023  O I prophaine though most of women bee
022.F07.024  this kind of beast, my thoughts shall except thee
022.F07.025  my deerest love; though froward Iealousie
022.F07.026  with Circumstance might urge thy inconstancye
022.F07.027  sooner Ill thinke the sunn will cease to cheare
022.F07.028  the teeming earth, and that forget to beare
022.F07.029  sooner that riuers will runn backe, or Thames
022.F07.030  with ribs of Ice in Iune will binde his streames
022.F07.031  or nature by those->>whose< strength the world indures,
022.F07.032  would change her course, before you alter yours
022.F07.033  But o%C that trecherous breast, to whom weake you
022.F07.034  did trust our Counsells, and wee both may rue,
022.F07.035  hauing her fashood found too late, twas she
022.F07.036  that made me cast you guilty, and you me
022.F07.037  whilst she blacke wretch betray'd each simple worde
022.F07.038  wee spake vnto the Cunning of a third;
022.F07.039  Curst may she bee that so our loue hath slaine [ff.21r]
022.F07.040  and wander on the earth wretched as Caine
022.F07.041  wretched as he, and not deserue least pitty
022.F07.042  In plaguing her let miserie be witty
022.F07.043  lett all eies shun her, and she shun each eie
022.F07.044  till she be noysome as his infamy;
022.F07.045  may she without remorse deny god thrice,
022.F07.046  and not be trusted more on her soules price
022.F07.047om
022.F07.048  may Wolues teare out her heart, Vultures her eies
022.F07.049  Swine eate her bowells and her falser tonuge
022.F07.050  that vttered all bee to some raven flung
022.F07.051  and lett her carrion coarse be a longer feast
022.F07.052  to the kings doggs then any other beast.
022.F07.053  now haue I curst; lett vs oure loue reuiue
022.F07.054  In me the flame was never more aliue.|.
