Wer't ought to me I bore the canopy,
With my extern the outward honoring, Or layd great bases for eternitie, Which proves more short then waste or ruining? Have I not seene dwellers on forme and favor Lose all, and more by paying too much rent For compound sweet; Forgoing simple savour, Pittifull thrivors in their gazing spent. No, let me be obsequious in thy heart, And take thou my oblation, poore but free, Which is not mixt with seconds, knowes no art, But mutuall render, onely me for thee. Hence, thou subbornd Informer, a true soule When most impeacht, stands least in thy controule.
