Remember since all thy words vsd to bee [121]
To every Suiter, I, if my frinds, agree.
Since houshould charmes thy husbands name to teache
Were all the loue-tricks that thy witt could reache
And since an howers discourse could scarse haue made
An* answere in thee and that ill arrayd
In broken Prouerbs and torne Sentences.
Thou art not by so many dutyes his
That from the worlds com̄on hauing seuerd thee
Inlayd thee neyther to bee scene nor see.
As mine w.ch haue with amorous delicacies
Refind thee into a blissfull Paradise
Thy graces and good words my creatures bee
I planted knowledge and lifes tree in thee.
W.chôh shall Strangers tast? must I, alas!
fframe and enam̄ell plate and drinke in glasse
Chafe waxe for others seales, breake a colts force
And leaue him then beeing made a ready horse?
Elegie .6.
Till I haue peace with thee, warre, other men.
And when I haue peace, can I leaue thee then?
All other warrs ar scrupulous, onely thou
(Ô fayre free citty) mayst thy selfe allow
To any one in flanders. Who can tell
Whether the master Peeres or men rebell?
