133.B46.0HE  Elegie: [grape#cluster]
133.B46.001  Mad paper stay. and grudge not here to burne.
133.B46.002  With all those Sunnes, which my braine did create,
133.B46.003  At least lye hid with me, till thou returne
133.B46.004  To raggs againe, which was thy natiue state.
133.B46.005  What thoughe, thou haue enoughe vnworthynes
133.B46.006  To come vnto greate place as others doe
133.B46.007  That much inboldens, pulls, thrusts I confesse
133.B46.008  But thats not all; thou shouldst be wicked too;
133.B46.009  And that, thou canst not learne, or not of me.
133.B46.010  Yet thou wilt goe, goe, Sith thou go'est to hir
133.B46.011  Who lacks but faults to be a Prince, for she
133.B46.012  Truthe, whome they dare to pardon, dares prefer.
133.B46.013  But when thou com'st to that perplexinge eye
133.B46.014  Which equally claimes loue, and reuerence
133.B46.015  Thou wilt not longe dispute it, thou wilt dye.
133.B46.016  And hauinge little now, haue then no Sence.
133.B46.017  Yet when hir warme rededminge[sic] hand, which is
133.B46.018  A Miracle, and made Such, to worke more
133.B46.019  Doth touch thee, (Shapeles leafe) thou grow'st by this
133.B46.020  Her Creature, glorifide, more, then before.
133.B46.021  Then as a Mother, which delights to heare
133.B46.022  Hir early Childe mispeake halfe vtterd words
133.B46.023  Or because Maiesty doth neuer feare
133.B46.024  Ill, or bolde %Jwords%K Speach; she audience affords
133.B46.025  And then colde Speechles wretch, thou dyest againe
133.B46.026  And wisely, what discourse is lefte for thee?
133.B46.027  From Speech of ill, and hir thou must abstaine,
133.B46.028  And is there any Good, which is not she.?[sic] [CW:om]
133.B46.029  Yet maist thou praise hir Seruants, though not her. [88]
133.B46.030  And Witt and Virtue, and Honour hir attend.
133.B46.031  And Since th'are but hir Cloathes, thou shalt not err
133.B46.032  If thou hir shape, Beauty and Grace commend.
133.B46.033  Wee knowe thy Destiny, when thou hast don
133.B46.034  Perchance hir Cabinet may harbour thee
133.B46.035  Whither, all noble ambitious witts doe run
133.B46.036  A neste, allmost as full of Good, as she.
133.B46.037  When thou art there, if any whome we knowe,
133.B46.038  Were Sau'de before, and did that heauen pertake
133.B46.039  When she reuolues his papers, marke, what showe
133.B46.040  Of fauour, she, alone to them doth make;[sic]
133.B46.041  Marke, if to get to them, she Skips the rest.

133.B46.046  Marke, if hir oathes against him, be not still
133.B46.047  Reseru'd, and that she grieues, she's not hir owne
133.B46.048  And Chides the Doctrine, that Denies Freewill.
133.B46.049  I bid thee not doe this, to be my Spie
133.B46.050  Nor to make my Selfe hir familiar
133.B46.051  But so much doe I loue hir Choyce, that I
133.B46.052  would faine loue him, that should be lou'd of hir.
