121All kinde of arguments and question deepe,

122Al replication prompt, and reason strong

123For his aduantage still did wake and sleep,

124To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weepe:

125He had the dialect and different skil,

126Catching al passions in his craft of will.

19127That hee didde in the general bosome raigne

128Of young, of old, and sexes both inchanted,

129To dwel with him in thoughts, or to remaine

130In personal duty, following where he haunted,

131Consent's bewitcht, ere he desire haue granted,

132And dialogu'd for him what he would say,

133Askt their own wils and made their wils obey.

20134Many there were that did his picture gette

135To serue their eies, and in it put their mind,

136Like fooles that in th' imagination set

137The goodly obiects which abroad they find

138Of lands and mansions, theirs in thought assign'd,

139And labouring in moe pleasures to bestow them,

140Then the true gouty Land-lord which doth owe them.

21141So many haue that neuer toucht his hand

142Sweetly suppos'd them mistresse of his heart:

143My wofull selfe that did in freedome stand,

144And was my owne fee simple (not in part)

145What with his art in youth and youth in art

146Threw my affections in his charmed power,

147Reseru'd the stalke and gaue him al my flower.

22148Yet did I not as some my equals did

149Demaund of him, nor being desired yeelded,

150Finding my selfe in honour so forbidde,

151With safest distance I mine honour sheelded,

152Experience for me many bulwarkes builded
