Preface
25 Yet shee
2 Worthies
10 Will no other vice content you?
25 Which thinke to stablish dangerous constancie.
10 And at next nine
45 A patterne of your love!
Preface
20 Nor a lost houre recall!
20 To fuell such a feaver long.
25 So thy love may be my loves spheare;
30 To write threescore: this is the second of our raigne.
10 And cleare reflects thee to thine eye.
60 And unaware to mee shalt write.
50 In both they doe excell
15 And to all eyes it selfe betrayes:
I SCARCE beleeve my love to be so pure
20 From loves awakened root do bud out now.
10 I do not sue from thee to draw
Preface
10 On a round ball
13 All
15 And cloysterd in these living walls of Jet.
20 Art in anguish
10 If once into loves hands it come!
70 Weake men on love reveal'd may looke;
Preface
15 But every moderne god will now extend
30 To Schoolemen I bequeath my doubtfulnesse;
30 Know thee for one?
25 Ten is the farthest number; if halfe ten
15 But that my fire doth with my fuell grow.
10 Or too much triumph in the Victorie.
10 And a just office on a murderer doe.
25 Diminisheth the length of life a day)
15 We shall new shadowes make the other way.
Preface
10 For such by all are sought;
1 Martiall
25 Now I see many dangers; for that is
25 All love is wonder; if wee justly doe
35 Then are they purest; Change'is the nursery
60 By drawing in a leprous harlots breath;
10 And powders blew staines scatter'd on my skinne;
35 Yet let not thy deepe bitternesse beget
Preface
25 Thy graces and good words my creatures bee;
40 Or like hot liquid metalls newly runne
15 Yet lies not Love
45 I hate extreames; yet I had rather stay
43 Deaths-heads
20 Then if more
20 And punisht for offences not their owne?
60 That with phantastique scheames fils full much paper;
75 And they are still bad angels; Mine are none;
90 May your few fellowes longer with me stay.
42 Belgia.
35 Was't not enough that thou didst dart thy fires
15 This she
30 Throng in her bosome for creation.
45 Our onely City trades of hope now are
35 In ... now
70 For though'tis got by
30 A blushing womanly discovering grace;
20 Him not humane that would turn back from her:
55 And doth prescribe manners and laws to nations.
80 Nor to the art of severall eyes obeying;
40 How much they erre; that set out at the face?
65 And Sailing towards her
90 Then if at beauties elements he stay.
35 To taste whole joyes. Gems which you women use
20 To dust and ashes turn'd before my time.
45 To make at home; And shall not I do then
Preface
35 Thy body is a naturall
40 Ends of much wonder; And be Thou those ends.
75 So nicely about the Bride;
60 Seest thou all good because thou seest no harme?
95 Of his owne thoughts; I would not therefore stay
40 Then may thy leane and hunger-starved wombe
75 A pleasing sacrifice; now dispossesse
90 The priest comes on his knees t'embowell her;
10 Giddie fantastique Poëts of each land.
35 As though all thy companions should make thee
70 Sells for a little state his libertie;
20 Pistolets are the best Artillerie.
60 Then when winds in our ruin'd Abbeyes rore.
90 Are Fathers of the Church for writing lesse.
30 To thy foes and his (who made thee to stand
70 Now; Aretines pictures have made few chast;
Preface
75 With which she scracheth Suiters; In bodies
85 Enough to cloath all the great Carricks Pepper.
20 To be farre greater then the Mother-nose?
35 This magnifies thy leaves; but if they stoope
1 I meane
10 Sad that her sonnes did seeke a forraine grave
25 And on the hatches as on Altars lyes
40 Or to disuse mee from the queasie paine
Preface
30 Each elements qualities were in the'other three;
55 Sinke like a lead without a line: but as
10 And shall not better; her next change is night:
30 Such freedome doth a banishment become.
15 Like Indians'gainst Spanish hosts they bee.
27 At Court;
35 Make your returne home gracious; and bestow
20 And falsifies both computations so;
35 In all Religions as much care hath bin
66 As strange attire aliens the men wee know.
50 Your friends finde every day a mart of new.
45 We till with them; and them to heav'n wee raise;
80 Quenching compassion of our wrechednesse.
Preface
15 As spice doth bodies from corrupt aires touch.
60 Ioy
M AN to Gods image;
15 Do thou so too: and fill not like a Bee
30 Some thing to answere in some proportion
10 The re sacrifice it to that beauteous Sun:
25 But'tis an easier load (though both oppresse)
Preface
20 Her creature; glorify'd more then before.
50 Nor to make my selfe her familiar;
30 Through which all things within without were shown.
20 And make your minds sincere complexion blush.
40 Shee therefore wrought upon that part of you
75 The first whom we in His tories doe finde
20 For the bold pride of vulgar pens to touch;
35 So these high songs that to thee suited bin
40 Measures of times are all determined)
60 What wee may gaine by thy Anatomy.
Preface
60 Because it need disguise no thought within.
95 Her modestie not suffering her to bee
10 It clogged is) can follow thee halfe way;
35 Still upward mount; and let thy Makers praise
THE PROGRESSE
75 Shee that first tried indifferent desires
Preface
30 Met a
70 The onely subject reason wrought upon.
I HAVE learn'd by those lawes wherein
90 Which he successively to order brings;
30 If carnall Death (the yonger brother) doe
45 Soe much did zeale her conscience rarefie
20 A tenth ranke in the heavenly hierarchie.
40 But thou hast both of Captaine mist and fort.
Preface
35 Her soule was Paradise; the Cherubin
58 All the MSS. omit
15 With whom more Venturers more boldly dare
20 What a soule was; All former comelinesse
10 In my graves inside see what thou art now:
10 Our soules become wormeaten carkases;
15 And wilt anon in thy loose-rein'd careere
90 And wee (for treason taints the blood) thence die and sweat.

Preface
10 But oh it must be burnt! alas the fire
10 And vile blasphemous Conjurers to call
10 But am betroth'd unto your enemie:
10 Whether a man those statutes can fulfill;
10 Dost wooe my soule for hers; offring all thine:
10 First travaile we to seeke and then make Love?
55 And as the braine through bony walls doth vent
25 As by the selfe-fix'd Pole wee never doe
55 And let thy Patriarches Desire
85 Thou in thy scatter'd mystique body wouldst
45 For
15 The punishment.
40 Than Kings give dignities; to keepe heavens doore?
20 Doth drive her children to captivitie.
40 Into her holy Sanctuary goe.
