cloy Hope long desired doth bring the greatest Joy Without Injuries the world would languish and have enough to do discord in part makes harmony in the whole and some must laugh whilst others do condole Wrongs like great whirlewinds shake the highest battlements few for Heaven would care should they be ever happy they are half Gods who both in good dayes and good fortunes share Ingratitude is like a dog that flies at his master which it is just with us to strangle neither his kind nor use considered Shame of Infamy doth extinguish lust as oyl doth fire Where shame and Infamy are too much inforced on a delinquent they breed too often an audacious defence of sin but no sincere repentance so the rain slides to the root and nourishes where great storms make a noise wet but the skin of the earth and run away in a swift channel Our Industry is as our soul which is not put into the body to be idle it hath too many rare and curious pieces of Mathematical motions to stand still Incontinency is a vice sooner condemn'd then banisht easily spoke against but yet will fawn as smoothly on our flesh as Circe on the Grecian travellers when she detained them in the shapes of beasts Lust and Incontinency like the plummets hanging on clock lines will never have done till all our faculties are undone and ruined Oh with what vertue should lust be withstood Since 't is fire seldom quencht without blood Lustful Incontinency is like an overswoln river that breaks all bounds it is a devil bred in blood nurst in desire that like the Salamander lives in fire Lust is a gilded pill which sinful nature doth prescribe desire strokes the sense with pleasure but at last the shining out-side leaves a bitter taste Of such an Inconstancy as boyes gay bubbles blown in the air and broken The winde is more sixt then her Inconstancy the beaten Marriner with his shrill whistle calms the loud murmurs of the troubled main and sooner strikes it smooth again then her soul to have peace in love with any Our constitutions vary herbs and trees admit their frosts and summer and why then should our desires that are so nimble and more subtil then the spirits of our blood be such staid things within us and not share their mutual Inconstancy He wears his Faith like the fashion of his hat it changes with the next block Jealousie 's fits present a man like so many bubbles in a bason of water twenty several crabbed faces many times makes his own shadow his cuckold maker The Devil gives this Jealousie to man as nature doth a tail unto a lion which thinks in heat to beat away the flies when he doth only more inrage himself A Jealous fellow is like a cowardly Captain in a Garison Town fears every assault trembles at every battery and doubts most lest the gates should be opened and his enemy let him in at midnight Those wounds heal ill that men do give themselves omision to do that is necessary seals a commission to a blank of dangers and danger like an Ague subtily taints even then when we sit idly in the sun Kings lives are fortunes misery like dainty sparks which when men dead do know to kindle for himself each man doth blow The lives of Kings should like to Dials move whose regular example is so strong they make the times by them go right or wrong Princes like lions never will be tamed a private man may yield and not care how but greater hearts will break before they 'l bow If a Kings Government be easie the many headed monster Multitudes like Aesops foolish Frogs they trample on him as a sensless block and if he prove a Stork they croak and rail against him as a Tyrant Knighthood is like Marriage now-adayes which though it honourable be with all men yet it is beggarly with a great many Law is as the worlds great Light a second Sun to this terrestrial Globe by which all things have life and being and without the which destruction and disorder soon would seize the general state of men Learning and Languages cannot set a nap upon a thred-bare gown Art is like common Fidlers draws down others meat with liquorish Tunes whilst they the scraps do eat Liberty and Publique good are like great Ollio's must have the upper end still of our Tables though they are but for show Life is the frost of cold Felicity and Death the thaw of all our vanity Life is but a walking shadow a poor Player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more Life is a tale told by an Ideot full of sound and fury signifying nothing Like to an Ass whose b ack with ingots bows we bear our heavy riches but journey and death unloads us Life is but a dark and stormy night of sensless dreams terrors and broken sleep a tyranny devising pains to plague and make men long in dying Love is a rasor cleansing if well used But fetcheth blood if that it be abused Love like to sin inveterate is and strong He prevents danger that destroys it yong Love can no more be dissembled then to bear hot burning coals in our bare palms or bosoms and less concealed and hidden then a flash of inflamed powder whose whole light doth lay it open to all discovery even of those who have but half an eye and less of nose Loves service is much like our honored Lord where Mignions carry more then servitors the bold and careless servants still obtains the modest and respective nothing gains Lovers are like Astronomers that when the vulgar eye discovers but a skie above studied with some few stars finde out besides strange fishes birds and beasts Lovers in favour are like Gamesters in good fortune the more you set them still the more they win Love is but a card play all is lost Unless you cog he that pricks best wins most At the games of Love we set all but the best is we cannot stake and there is no loss of credit in the breaking Love is like to wax the more it is rubbed it sticks the faster to or like a bird in bird-lime or a pit-fall the more one labors still he is the deeper in Love is an idle fantasie bred by desire nursed by delight an humor that begins his dominion in Leo the Lion the sign of the Heart and ends in Aries the ●am the sign of the Head his power is to stir the blood prick up the flesh and fill the body with libidinous heat A yong mans Love it is like Ivy it must have something to cleave to or it prospers not Love is like fasting dayes but the body is like flesh dayes and it is our English Gallants fashion to prefer a morsel of flesh before all the fasting days in the year This Love is a troublesome thing Jupiter bless us out of his fingers there is no estate can rest for him he runs
o're her shoulders a black shade For the star-light of her eyes Brighter shines through those dark skies Black or fair or tall or low I alike with all can sport The bold sprightly Thais woe or the frozen Vestal Court Every Beauty takes my mind Ty'd to all to none confin'd A description of his Mistriss SO looks the Virgin Rose which cherish'd by the genial truth Her crimson Beauties doth disclose as doth the ruby portals of her mouth Which when she doth unfold Two bright transparent rows Of pearl ye may behold From between which a breath of Amber flows A more then Tyrean purple doth o'respread Her lips which softer are Then the Swans down and smoother far The costly juice that dwells In Oriental shells To them looks pale they are so purely red Fair Cheeks that look like blushing roses plac't In purest Ivory Or Coral within snow enchas'd The Glories of the Spring Grow pale and languishing For envy so out-shin'd by them to be Sweetly triumphing Eyes That in two Crystal prisons do contain Death in affrown's disguise How gladly would I die to be by those eyes slain Delightful cruelty Of those all charming Eyes That have on one design'd to try With what a pleasing empire they can tyrannize The Melancholy Lover HIther I come delightful groves To spend my sighs and make my moan To whose still shades it best behoves To make my plaints and sorrows known And these gentle trees invite To pity my disconsolate plight 'T is rigorous love that doth torment This disturbed heart of mine But of a Creature so Divine That I ought not to repent To have loved though unlov'd again The sole author of my pain Is bright Sylvia gentle bowrs To your gloomy walks unknown Who loves to spend the harmless hours Among silent groves alone Hnd can with her presence bright To the darkest shades give light Sylvia hath about her charms Nations able to subdue And can conquer with those arms More then mightiest Kings can do But I that am her chiefest aim Am destin'd to the greatest flame I die Sylvia when I behold Those eyes that set on fire my heart Yet I for love is uncontroll'd Greedy and fond of my own smart And captive to my misery Love to behold those Stars and die To his Mistriss falsly accusing him WRong me no more In thy complaint Blam'd for inconstancy I vow'd to adore The fairest Saint Not chang'd while thou wer't she But if another thee out-shine Th' inconstancy is only thine To be by such Blind Fools admir'd Gives thee but small esteem By whom as much thou 'dst be desir'd Did'st thou less beautious seem Sure why they love they know not well Who why they should not cannot tell Women are by themselves betray'd And to their short joys cruel Who foolishly themselves perswade Flames can outlast their fuel None though Platonick their pretence With reason love unless by sense And he by whose command to thee I did my heart resign now bids me chuse a Deity Diviner far then thine No power from love can beauty sever I 'me still loves subject thine was never The fairest she whom none surpass To love hath only right and such to me thy beauty was till one I found more bright But were as impious to adore thee now as not t' have don 't before Nor is it just by Rules of Love Thou shouldst denv to quit a heart that must anothers prove even in thy right to it Must not thy subjects captives be To her who triumphs over thee Cease then in vain to blot my name With forg'd Apostacy thine is that stain who dar'st to claim what others ask of thee Of Lovers they are only true Who pay their hearts where they are due To his false Mistriss CElio remains disconsolate forsaken of his cruel Lover Who not asham'd to violate Her faith doth for her false heart discover Oft do I her hard heart bemoan Inveigh on her unconstant mind Oft blame my self for doting on a thing more fickle then the wind Sometimes unhappy men he deem'd her absence might have quench'd his flame But now more and fair then e're she seem'd his flames increase through her disdain Now nought is left me but dispair My adverse ●ate brought me to see Things distant most admired are enjoyment breeds satiety I go to see the fair unkind whom her new Lovers arms immure Me she vouchsas'd not once to mind in her inconstancy secure Was 't not enough Phillis said I that thy deceitful charming wiles Should cheat my ●ond credulity that thou seekst others to beguile If amidst these thy new delights Thou hapst no time to think on me Think how awakn'd conscience frights Think Phillis on thy perjury Longer to grieve I see 't is vain Longer my troubled thoughts to vex Phillis triumph in her disdain Phillis the falsest of her sex Resolution to Love I Wonder what the Grave and Wise Think of all us that love Whether our pretty fooleries Their mirth or anger move They understand not breath that words do want Our sighs to them are unsignificant One of them saw me t'other day Touch thy dear hand which I admire My soul was melting straight away And dropt before the fire This silly Wiseman who pretends to know Ask'd why I look'd so pale and trembled to Another from my Mistriss dore Saw me with watry eyes to come Nor could the hidden cause explore But thought some smoak was in the room Such ignorance from unwounded learning came He knew tears made by smoak but not by flame If learn'd in other things you be And have in Love no skill For God sake keep your arts from me For I 'le be ignorant still Study or actions others may embrace My Love 's my business and my Book 's her face These are but trifles I confess Which me weak mortal move Nor is your busie seriousness Less trifling then my love The wisest King who from his sacred brest Pronounc'd all vanity chose it for the best Tyranny in Love BLind Cupid lay thy Bow aside Thou dost know its use For Love thy Tyranny doth shew Thy kindness is abuse Thou who wer't call'd a Pretty Boy Art thought a Skeleton For thou like death dost still destroy When thou dost strike at one Each vulgar hand can do as much Then Heavenly skill we see When we behold two Arrows touch Two marks that distant be Love always looks for joy agen If e're thou woundst mans heart Pierce by the way his Rib and then He 'l kiss not curse thy dart Against Love NOw fie on love it ill befits Or Man or Woman know it Love was not meant for people in their wits And they that fondly shew it Betray their too much feather'd brains And shall have Bedlam only for their pains To Love is to distract my sleep And waking to wear fetters To Love is but to go to School to weep I 'le leave it for my betters If single love be such

But the Argument of such Relations hath nothing contrary yea it rather argueth mutual causes as thou art my Father I therefore am thy Son how then appeareth the Contraries A. When I say I am Father I am not therefore thy Son then are the Contraries true CAP. 15. Adverses Q. What are adverses A. Adverses are Contraries affirming which are perpetually adverse among themselves Give example out of some Poet A. Aeneid 11. No health in war we all desire Peace Q. Give further example A. White and black hot and cold vertue and vice are opposed Q. Give example out of some Orator A. Parad. 1. Cont. Epe Yet they do hold strongly and defend accurately that pleasure is the chief good which to me truly doth seem to be the voice of Beasts not of Men when as whether God or Nature as I may say the mother of all things hath given thee a soul then which nothing is more excellent nothing more divine dost thou so cast and throw down thy self as that thou thinkest there is no difference betwixt thee and the four-footed Beasts Q. Wherein consists the force of this example A. Cicero hath opposed beasts and men Adverses pleasure is the good of beasts and therefore of men Q. Give another example out of some Poet A.

Give another example A. Terrence in Ev. Phedria frameth his speech to Dorus when as he had affirmed that which he denied afterwards After a manner saith he he saith after a manner he denieth CAP. 17. Privants Q. What are Privants A. Privants are contraries denying of which one denieth in the same Subject only in which the Affirmative of its own nature is Q. What is the Affirmative called A. The Habit. Q. And what the Negative A. Privation Q. Make this plainer A. Motion and Rest Drunkenness and Sobriety are comprised under this Head Q. Give example A. Mart. Lib. 3.

What expectest thou the authority of the Speakers whose silence thou beholdest to be their pleasures Q. What more A. Mortality and Immortality Q. Give example A. Pro Marc. I grieve when as the Common Wealth ought to be immortal that it consisteth of one mortal life And this sufficeth to be spoken of disagreeing from whence every thing may differ from another by certain means CAP. 18. Equalls Q. Simple Arguments were agreeings and disagreeings we are now come unto Comparatives what are Comparatives therefore A. Comparatives are those which are compared amongst themselves Q. How are they manifested A. Although they be equally known by the nature of Comparison yet one to another is more known and illustrated then another and oftentimes are judged by shorter notes sometimes distinguished by fuller parts Q. What may these parts be
it self Q. Give example A. Aeglog 3. So me thy song as sleep on grass doth queme The traveller his weary limbs to drench Q. Shew the force of this example A. Here the copulative judgement is as if he should say sleep is grateful to the weary and so thy song is pleasing to me Q. What is the negative hereof Not me thy song as sleep on grass doth queme The traveller his weary limbs to drench CAP. 6. The Connexed Axioma Q. What is a connexed Axioma A. A connexed axioma is congregative whose conjunction is connexive Q. Give example A. Aeneid 2. If fortune doth feign Simon miserable it dishonestly feigneth him to be vain and a liar whose negative is if fortune doth not feign Simon miserable it dishonestly seigneth him to be vain and a liar Q. Is not this conjunction also denied more manifestly by denying the consequent A. Yes Q. Give example A. Pro Mer. I am not a murtherer though in their company De fato Neither if every enunciation be true or false doth it follow therefore that the causes are immutable for affirmation signifieth if the antecedent be that the consequent is also Negation therefore and contradiction determineth if the antecedent be that therefore the consequent is not Wherefore when thou shalt judge the connexive to be absolute true thou shalt judge it also necessary and thou shalt under stand this necessity to spring from the necessary connexion of parts the which may also be even in false parts Q. Give example of this A. If a man be a Lion he is also a four-footed this is a necessary connexion Q. But if the connexion be contingent and only put for probability how shall it be judged then A. Its judgement then shall be only opinion Q. Give example A. Ter. and Pamphilus if thou dost this this day is the last thou shalt see me Q. What may be further under this head A. This relation connexive of consequence is like to the connexed Axioma as when Tullius is said to be an Orator he hath also skill in pleading well And thus much of th● congregative Axioma CAP. 7. The Discreet Axioma Q. What is a Segregative Axioma A. A Segregative Axioma is that whose conjunction is Segregative and therefore enunciateth disagreeing arguments Q. What are the kinds A. A Segregative enunciation is discreet or disjunct Q. What is discreet A. Discreet is that whose conjunction is discretive and therefore of disagreeings it chiefly enunciateth diverses Q. Give example A. Tusc. 5. Although they may be judged by the force o● the body yet they are referred to the mind whose negativ● and contradiction is although they may not be juged by th● sense of the body yet they are referred to the minde or although they may be judged by the sense of the body yet they are not referred to the minde For yet is here a chief conjunction Q. How is the discreet Enunciat judged to be true A. The discreet enunciation is judged to be true and lawful if the parts be not only true but may be also discreet Q. How is the false or ridiculous judged A. Contrarily CAP. 8. The disjunct Axioma Q. What is a disjunct axioma A. A disjunct axioma is a segregative axioma whose conjunction is disjunct Q. Give example A. Georg. 1. There as they say is either silent night Always most dark and void of any light Or else the morning from us here doth go And brings the day unto them there also Q. Shew another example A. De fato ever enunciation is true or false Q. Here it seemeth is signified from the disjunst that one only is true A. So it is Q. What shall the negative and contradiction be A. Not every enunciation is true or false Q. And what doth the contradiction signifie A. That one of them is not true by necessity for if the disjunction be absolutely true it is also necessary and the parts of the disjunct are opposite without any means Q. But although the disjunction be absolutely true and also necessary may there not be a necessity that the parts should be separately necessary A. No. Q. Give example A. A man is good or not good here the disjunction is necessary and yet a man is good is not a necessary enunciation also a man is not good is not a necessary enunciation Q. Whereupon then dependeth the necessity of the disjunction A. The necessity of the disjunction dependeth on the necessary opposition and disjunction of the parts not as their necessary verity Q. But is not the disjunction oftentimes from condition A. Yes Q. Give example A. As if it be thought whether Cleon will come or Socrates because it was so agreed that one of them only should come Q. It seemeth by this that if the disjunction be contingent it is not absolutely true but is only opinionable A. So it is and that more frequently in the use of man Qu. Give example A. Ovid. Epist. Lean. Either good hap shall now unto me fall Or else fierce death the end of loving thrall CAP. 9. The Syllogism and its parts Q. You have manifested in its self the axiomatical judgement by axioma's the dianoetical followeth what therefore is dianoia A. Dianoia is when one axioma is derived from another Q. What are the kinds of dianoia A. A Syllogism or Method Q. What is a Syllogism A. A syllogism is a dianoia whereby the question is so disposed with the argument as the antecedent put it is necessarily concluded Q. Make this plainer A. When the axioma is doubtful the question is effected and there is need of a third argument to be placed with the question for its trust Q. How many parts hath the antecedent A. The antecedent of a syllogism hath two parts a proposition and an assumption Q. What is a proposition A. A proposition is the first part of the antecedent whereby the consequent of the question is at least disposed with the argument Q. What is the assumption A. The assumption is the second part of the antecedent which is affirmed from the proposition Q. But what is the consequent part of the syllogism A. The consequent part of the syllogism is that which imbraceth the part of the question and concludeth it Q. What is it called A. It is called from the nature of it complexion and conclusion Q. If any part of the syllogism want what is it said to be A. It is called Enthymema Q. But what if any part happen to be besides its parts A. Then it is called a Porsyllogism Q. Is not the order of the parts oftentimes confounded A. Yes Q. What then if any doubt shall arise from it A. Then that shall be filled up which wanteth those cut off which abound and every part digested into his place CAP. 10. The simple contracted syllogism Q. What are the kinds of a syllogism A.

of the question is placed in the proposition the antecedent part in the assum ption Q. What are the affections of it A. It is affirmed denied general special and proper Q. How is it affirmed A. From all the affirmative parts Q. How is it denied A. From one negative of the antecedent parts with com plexion Q. How is it general A. From the general proposition and assumption Q. How is it special A. From one of the generals only Q. And how is it proper A. From both propers Q. What are the kinds of the simple syllogism A. The simple syllogism is contracted by parts or expli cated Q. What is contract A. Contract is when the argument for the example is so subjected to a particular question that the antecedent may be understood to affirm each part and in the assumption Q. Give an example A. Certain confidence is vertue as constancy certain confidence is not vertue as boldness Q. Shew the force of this example A. This argument is understood to go before each part of the question as if it were expressed constancy is a vertue and confidence and therefore certain confidence is a vertue also boldness is not a vertue and yet it is confidence and therefore some confidence is not a vertue So in the use of disputing the master of the Syllogism draweth the judgment neither is it set forth otherwise And this exposition the beginning of the Syllogism is expounded by Aristotle so that the Syllogism in its full judgement is more clear and manifest CAP. 11. The first kind of the simple explicated Syllogism Q. What is the explicated Syllogism A. The explicated syllogism whose parts are explicated Q. What are the proprieties in this explicated Syllogism Q. Two first the proposition is general or proper secondly the conclusion is like to the antecedent or the weaker part Q. What are the kinds of it A. The kinds are two-fold Q. What is the first A. The first is where the argument always follow the negative in the other part Qu. Shew some syllogism of this kind A GEN. 1. Cesare A troubled me useth not his reason well But a wise man useth his reason well A wise man is not therefore troubled Q. Produce the example of some Orator for this syllogism A. This Judgement is so brought forth of Cicero Tuse 3. And when saith he the eye is troubled it is not honestly affected to the fulfilling of its duty and the rest of the parts as also the whole body when it is moved from its state wanteth its office and function So a troubled mind is not honestly affected to fulfil his duty But the duty of the mind is to use reason and a wise man is always so affected that he useth reason most excellently he is therefore never troubled Q. Give example of another general syllogism A. GEN. 2. Camestres A mortal thing is compound A Soul is not compound A Soul therefore is not mortal Q. Produce the authority of some ancient avouching this syllogism A. Cicero judged the soul to be immortal by this syllogism Tusc. 1. For we cannot doubt saith he in our minds unless we be perchance ignorant in physical things but that there is nothing knit to souls nothing connexed nothing copulate nothing joyned nothing double which when it is so can surely never be parted nor divided nor severed nor drawn asunder neither perish therefore for perishing is as it were a departure and separation or breach of those parts which before the perishing were joyned together Q. Give an example of a special syllogism A. SPEC 1. Festino A pale man is not couragious Maximus is couragious Maximus therefore is not pale Qu. Produce authority for this syllogism A. By this judgement Ovid concludeth de Pon● 3. El. 3. Paleness and sloth are not in the high mind Rather with Vipers them on ground we finde In highest things thy mind excels we see No name I finde t' express the wit of thee Some miseries do taste hurt and out-worn Are made to feel sharp pricking of the thorn Yet thou art wont to help complaining men Amongst which number pray let me be them Q. Shew another example of the special syllogism A. SPEC 2. Baroco A Dauncer is Lecherous Murena is not Lecherous Murena therefore is no dauncer Q. Produce some Orator for this syllogism A. Cic. pro Mur. For no man almost being sober daunceth unless perchance he be mad neither alone nor at a moderate and honest banquet for dauncing is the companion of untimely banquets pleasant places and many delights thou snatchest that from me that it is necessary that vices should be thou leavest that whereby this removed this vice ought not to be at all no filthy banquet no love no gluttony is shewed and when we finde not all these things which have the name of pleasure and are vices there thou canst not finde lechery nay thinkest thou to finde a shadow of lust in such Q. Avouch some other authority after the like manner A After this manner judgement Ovid de Trist. 1. concludeth triply whilst he sets forth the excuse of his verses They that make verses should not merry be Our time is clouded with adversity They that write verses should enjoy their ease The seas the windes with winter fierce me press Good Poets should not fear but I fear death I dread lest swords do take away my breath Then what is here a right judge will admire If reading them they satisfie's desire Q. Give example of proper syllogisms A. PRO. 1. Agesilaus is not painted by Apelles Alexander is painted by Apelles Alexander therefore is not Agesilaus Q. Give another example of a proper syllogism A. PRO. 2. Caesar oppressed his countrey Tullius oppressed not his countrey Tullius therefore is not Caesar. CAP. 12. The second kind of the simple explicate syllogism Q. What is the second kind of the simple explicate syllogism A. The second kinde of the explicate syllogism is when the argument goeth before in the proposition the affirmative followeth in the assumption Q. Give an example of an affirmative general after this kinde A. AFF. Gen. Barbara Every just thing is profitable Every honest thing is just Every honest thing therefore is profitable Q. Produce some Orator avouching this syllogism A. Thus Cicero concludeth offic 2. The Philosophers truly with great authority severely soundly and honestly do distinguish these three confused kinds by cogitation For whatsoever is just that also they think to be profitable also whatsoever is honest that is just f●om whence ariseth that whatsoever is honest that is also profitable Q. Give an example of a negative general syllogism A. NEG. Gen. Celarent A fearful man is not free A covetous man is fearful A covetous man therefore is not free Q. Prove this by some Poet A. It is thus concluded and judged by Horace Epist 1. Who freer is he that as a servant dwelleth Or he that in his moneys love excelleth I do not see he that desires

Alphabetical Collection beautified with flourishing Similitudes and Comparisons for the better imitation admirably applied to their several Subjects ANger is blood powred and perplexed into a froth Reason to rage is like bands to a sore which often stroking makes the anguish more Anger is like a deadly weapon we hear his voice before it doth execution and then we arm So looks the chased Lion on the daring Hunts-man that hath galled him then makes him nothing As a Savage Bore that hunted long assail'd and set upon with his only eyes swimming in fire keeps off his baying hounds though sunk himself yet holds his Anger up and shows it forth in foam makes firm his stand of battalious bristles feeds his hate to die and whets his tusks with wrathful majesty So fares a furious Anger Anger is like a full hot horse who being allowed his way his self mettal tires him Ambition's gilded spheres are like to painted hells which please the eyes even while they show the heart where horror lies Ambitions thoughts like woods whilst they maintain the flame of high desires grow ashes by the same Ambition like water floods not channel-bound neighboring banks doth over-run and groweth nothing when its rage is down So have I beheld an exhalation that would be a star fall when the Sun forsook it in a sink Ambitious men like furious cannons are often burst with over-charging Ambition like an

will have one taste well you must not scorn to be dipping in the other Chamber-maids are like lotteries one may chuse twenty before they shall find one good one To say a Waiting-woman is handsome and

arm in the throat of a Lion ones purse with a Curtizen ones neck to the chance of the dice ones religion to a Synagogue of Jews as ones wife with a friend So tall a Cuckold that he ducks at the penthouses like an Ancient that dares not flourish for fear of the sign-posts As hearty Sea-men in desperate storms stem with a little rudder the tumbling ruines of the Ocean so with their cause and swords good men meet Dangers Our Desires are like our fates our own stars all our fortunes which as we sway them so abuse or bless us Who riseth from a feast with that keen appetite that he set down such are Desires obtained Where is that horse that doth untread again his tedicus measures with the unbated fire that he did pace them first so our Desires fix on their objects with far more spirit then they do enjoy them How like a yonker or a prodigal the scared barque puts from her naaive bay nugged and embraced by the strumpet winde how like a prodigal doth she return with our withered ribs
