A Songe

[All my Misfortunes they are gone]

All my Misfortunes they are gone
Now wee are one;
Dispise the greatest Monarks' frownes
And all their Crownes;
And triflinge of all. What's mankinde?
Like Various winde,
Like Boys that fethers blow, these be
Compar'd to thee.
What's Court's dissembling? lett them lie;
Or what's Digby?
Or Greatnes of our great Frenshe Queene?
Or Mazerine?
Or our Queen? doe all shee can,
Jerman's Jerman.
Not picking Strawes, hee, shee, or hee,
Compar'd to thee.
