15TWo Loues I haue, of Comfort, and Despaire,

16That like two Spirits, do suggest me still:

17My better Angell is a Man (right faire)

18My worser spirite a Woman (colour'd ill.)

19To winne me soone to hell, my Female euill

20Tempteth my better Angell from my side,

21And would corrupt my Saint to be a Diuell,

22Wooing his purity with her faire pride.

23And whether that my Angell be turnde feend,

24Suspect I may (yet not directly tell:

25For being both to me: both, to each friend,

26I ghesse one Angell in anothers hell:

27 The truth I shall not know, but liue in doubt,

28 Till my bad Angell fire my good one out.
