I haue donne one brauer thing [302]
Then all the worthyes did
Yet a brauer thence doth spring
Which is to keepe that hidd
It were but madnesse now t'empart
The skill of specular stone
When hee wch. can haue learnd the Art
To cutt it, can find none
So if I now should vtter this
others, (because no more
Such stuff to worke vpon there is)
Would loue but as before
But hee who loveliness within
Hath found, all other loaths
ffor hee who colour loues and skinn
Loues but theyr oldest clothes
If, as I haue, you also doe
Vertue in woemen see
And dare loue that and say so too
And forget the Hee and Shee
And if this loue though placed so
ffrom prophane men you hide
Which will no fayth on this bestowe
Or if they doe deride
Then haue you donne a brauer thing
Then all the worthyes did
And a brauer thence will spring
wch is to keepe that hidd

[CW: If yet]
