Aske how you did, and often with Intent [146]
Of beeing officious bee impertinent
All which were such soft pastimes, as in these
Loue was as subtilly caught as a disease
But beeing got it is a treasure sweete
Wch to defend is harder then to get
And ought not bee profan'd on eyther part
ffor though tis got by chance, tis kept by Art.
