し ELEGIES. Nor tame wild Boreas' harshness; thou apes; That absent lovers one in the other be. Dissemble nothing, not a boy, nor change Thy body's babit, nor mind; be not strang To thyself only, all will spy in thy face A blushing, womanly, discovering grace. Richly clothed apes, are called and a Eclipsed, as bright, we call the moon the m Men of France, changeable chameleons, Spittles of diseases, shops of fashions, Love's fuellers, and the rightest company Of players which upon the world's stage be, Will quickly know thee; and no less alas, The indifferent Italian, as we pass His warm land, well content to think thee pag Will hunt thee with such lust, and hideous rag As Lot's fair guests were vext. But none of the Nor spungy hydroptic Dutch, shall thee displea If thou stay here. O stay here; for, for thee England is only a worthy gallery, To walk in expectation, till from thence Our greatest king call thee to his presence. When I am gone, dream me some happiness, Nor let thy looks our long-hid love confess ; Nor praise, nor dispraise me; nor bless, Openly love's force; nor in bed fright thy nurse nor curse With midnight's startings, crying out, oh! oh!

Homely and familiarly, when thou com'st back, Talk of Will Conqueror, and Prester Jack Go. bashful man. lest here thon blush to look Upon the progress of thy glorious book. To which both Indies sacrifices send: The West sent gold, which thou didst frey spend, Meaning to see 't no more upon the press: And thy leaves must embrace what comes from hence, The myrrh, the pepper, and the frankincense. Thy leaves a better method do provide, A pandect mak'st, and universal book. The bravest heroes for their country's good, So will thy book in pieces, for a lord, Some leaves may paste strings there in other books, And so one may which on another looks, Pilfer, alas! a little wit from you; The healths, which my brain bears, must be far Thy giant wit o'erthrows me, I am gone; ELEGY. THE heavens rejoice in motion; why should I And not with many youth, and loved, divide? The sun, that sitting in the chair of light, [bright, But ends his year, and with a new begins.* *Doth a new begin? |
