Yett this is not yo:r phisick, but your food [f. 49v] |
A diett fitt for yo:u; for yo:u are here |
The first good Angell, since ye worldes frame stood |
That ever did in womans shape appeare.| |
|
Since yo:u are then Gods masterpeece, and so |
His factor for our loves; Doe as yo:u doe |
Make yo:r retorne home gracious; & bestow. |
This lief on that; so make one life of two.| |
|
For so God helpe me, I would not miss yo:u there |
For all the good, wch yo:u can doe me here.| |

To ye Countesse of Bedforde |
|
(Madam. |
Yo:u haue refinde me; And to worthiest things |
Vertue, Art, Bewty, fortune, now I see, |
Rarenes, or vse, not nature value brings |
And such as they are circumstancd, they be |
Two ills can nere perplexe vs, sinn to excuse |
But of two good things, we may leaue & chuse.| |
|
Therefore at Court, wch is not vertues clyme |
Where a transcendent height, (as lownes me)
