Loe as a carefull huswife runnes to catch,
One of her fethered creatures broake away, Sets downe her babe and makes all swift dispatch In pursuit of the thing she would haue stay: Whilst her neglected child holds her in chace, Cries to catch her whose busie care is bent, To follow that which flies before her face: Not prizing her poore infants discontent; So runst thou after that which flies from thee, Whilst I thy babe chace thee a farre behind, But if thou catch thy hope turne back to me: And play the mothers part kisse me, be kind. So will I pray that thou maist haue thy Will, If thou turne back and my loude crying still.
