The farewell.
Thus could I foole away my Time, in Toyes;And paralel her Name
(Obscure) to all your fame;
Create a Harmonie, to all the Ioyes
I had, in Love, of you; draw threds of praise
Into a Volume; and Erect
A Trophie, to out-shine you, many waies;
But know, I doe neglect
Trifles of ffemale Love; I will not draw
A line, to Eyther, more then idle howers
Permit; (when I releasèd from the Awe
Of Sober thoughts) if lighter ffancie Skowers
Like wanton Hobbies, at a Dore; then well
In Skorne and Mockage, of your falshood, tell
Perhaps I may: Farewell.
