smoake it long ere you better your owne discourse or make your Accounts even which Time expects at your hands A whole ounce of Tobacco will hardly purchase one dram of wit Repentance is the best fruit you shall reape out of such an unsavory herbe Art thou yet reclaimed or art thou hardned If the one Time shall entertaine thee with his blessing if the other Time will bid thee farewell but farewell

with despaire of thy returne Yet Spissum verbum est amanti veniet I pray thee foreslow not my hopes frustrate not my expectance but satisfie my love Never did pleasures with all their appearance so much affect thee nor any temporary delights so well deserve thee Come then quickly to him that doth both love thee and hath well deserved thee Odit nec patitur moras amor That love which proceeds from the heart hates delayes with her hart but where love is dissembling there love without offence may be delaying How long have I observed thee yonder smoaking and was doubtfull whether thou wert as thou seemedst a man or that Beast which the naturall Historian talkes off that sends out nought but fire In I durst not come to thee for I doubted if I had remembred thee of my abuse I should have beene
