^noteNow will I speake like Moore in ^note melancholy Fol. 6^a
ffor if ^note greeses power could w^th her sharpest darts
pierce my firme bosome; heres sufficient cause
to take my farewell of mirths hurtles &lab;awes. ^note
notePoore humbled Lady, thou that wert of late
placde w^th the noblest women of the land
Invited ^note to their angell companies
seeming a bright Starre in the [heauen of] Courtly Sphere
why shouldst thou like a widow sit thus low
and all thy faire consorts [shun] ^note moove ^note from the clowds
that ouerdreep thy beautie and thy worth
Ile tell thee the ^note true cause, the Court like heauen
examines not the anger of the [king;] Prince
and being more ^note fraile composde of guilded earth
shines vpon them on ^note whom the [Prince] king ^note doth shine
smiles if he smile, declines if he decline
Yet seeing both are mortall Court and king
shed not one teare for any earthly thing
ffor so God &pab;don me in ^note my saddest hower
thou hast no more occasion to lament
nor these, nor those, my exile from the court
no nor [my mortall d] this bodyes tortur wert ^note imposde
as commonly disgraes ^note of great men
are the forewarnings of a hastie death
[Beleeue me] than to behold me after many a toyle
honord w^th rest. Perchance the king

seeing the Court is full of vanitie
has pittie least our soules shuld ^note be misled
and sends vs to a life contemplatiue.
O happy banishment from worldly pride
when soules by priuate life are sanctifide

wife:
^noteO but I feare some plot against [hi] your life

Moore:
why then tis thus; the king of his high grace
seeing my faithfull seruice to his state
intends to send me to the king of heauen
for a rich present: where [if soules] my soule shall proue
a true remembrer of his majestie. ^note
Come pre thee mourne [, since] not: the worst chance is death
and that brings ^note endlesse joy ^note for fickle breath.&fslash;

wife:
Ah but your children.

Moore:
Tush let them alone, say they be stript from this poore painted cloth
this outside of the earth; [what haue they] left houselesse, bare
they haue mindes instructed how to gather more
there's ^note no man thats ingenuous can be poore.
And therefore doo not weep my little ones
though [all] you loose all the earth; keep your soules eeuen ^note
and you shall finde inheritance in heauen.
But for my seruants theres my cheefest care
[In you I] Come hether faithfull Steward be not greeude
that in thy &pab;son I discharge both thee
and all thy other ffellow Officers
ffor my great ^note Master hath discharged mee.
^note[So for the rest, my Gentlemen and y]
If thou by seruing me hast sufferd losse

then benefit thy ^note selfe by leauing mee.
I hope thou hast not ^note: for such times as theese

But I suspect not thee admit thou hast
Its good ^note the seruants saue when Masters wast.&fslash;
But you poore Gentlemen that had no place
t'inrich your ^note selues but by loathd briberie
w^ch I abhord, and neuer found you loude
^notethinke when an oake fals vnderwood shrinkes downe
and yet may liue though ^note brusd, I pray ye striue
