87 The old mans choice.

Let soueraigne Reason, sitting at the sterne,
And farre remouing all eye-blinding passion,
Censure the due desert with iudgement cleere,
And say, The cruell merit no compassion.
Liue then, kind Nimph, and ioy we two together:
Farewell th'vnkind, and all vnkind goe with her.
