Two loves I have, of Comfort, and Despaire,
That like two Spirits, doe suggest me still: My better Angell is a Man (right faire) My worser spirit a Woman (colour'd ill.) To winne me soone to hell, my Female evill Tempteth my better Angell from my side, And would corrupt my Saint to be a Divell, Wooing his puritie, with her faire pride. And whether that my Angell be turnd feend, Suspect I may (yet not directly tell:) For being both to me: both to each friend, I ghesse one Angell in anothers hell. The truth I shall not know, but live in doubt, Till my bad Angell fire my good one out.
