Seite 5 - For late a man do what he can, Theyr favour to attayne, Yet, yf a newe do them persue, Theyr first true lover than Laboureth for nought ; for from her thought He is a banyshed man.
Seite 24 - Doubtless this could not be, but that she turns Bodies to spirit by sublimation strange, As fire converts to fire the things it burns, As we our food into our nature change. From their gross matter she abstracts their forms, And draws a kind of quintessence from things; Which to her proper nature she transforms, To bear them light on her celestial wings.

Seite 16 - With reckless hand in grave doth cover it, Thereafter never to enjoy again The gladsome light, but in the ground ylain, In depth of darkness waste and wear to nought, As he had never into the world been brought.
Seite 80 - Honour and Pleasure both are in thy mind, And all that in the world is counted good. Think of her worth, and think that God did mean This worthy Mind should worthy things embrace: Blot not her beauties with thy thoughts unclean, Nor her dishonour with thy passions base.
Seite 25 - O, that she were, as is the air, to me! Why, so she is; for, when I would embrace her, This do I, and catch nothing but myself.
