For this love is enragd wth me, [f. 97]
Yett killes not; if I must example be
To future rebells; if thunborne
Must learne, by my being cutt vp and torne
Kill, and desect me, love; for this
Torture against thine owne end is,
Rackt Carcasses make ill Anatomies.|
*
Some man vnworthy to be possessor
Of old or new love; himself being false or weake,
Thought his paine, and shame would be lesser
If on womankind he mought his anger wreake
And thence a law did grow
One should but one man know
But are other creatures soe?|
Are Sunne, Moone, or Stars, by law forbidden,
To smile where they list; or lend away their light?
Are birds divorcd, or are they chidden,
If they leaue their mate, or lie abroad a night?
Beasts did noe jointers loose
Though they new lovers choose
But we are made worse then those|
Who ere rigd faire shipp to lye in harbors,
And not to seeke new lands, or not to deale wth All?
Or build faire houses sett trees and Arbors,
