1911No, let the Candied tongue, like absurd pompe,

1912And crooke the pregnant Hindges of the knee,

1913Where thrift may follow faining? Dost thou heare,

1914Since my deere Soule was Mistris of my choyse,

1915And could of men distinguish, her election

1916Hath seal'd thee for her selfe. For thou hast bene

1917As one in suffering all, that suffers nothing.

1918A man that Fortunes buffets, and Rewards

1919Hath 'tane with equall Thankes. And blest are those,

1920Whose Blood and Iudgement are so well co-mingled,

1921That they are not a Pipe for Fortunes finger,

1922To sound what stop she please. Giue me that man,

1923That is not Passions Slaue, and I will weare him

1924In my hearts Core: I, in my Heart of heart,

1925As I do thee. Something too much of this.

1988he suffer not thinking on, with the Hoby-horsse, whose

1989Epitaph is, For o, For o, the Hoby-horse is forgot.
