42. The Advise.

1

I am big-belli'd with desire
To court thine ears with admonition,
Lest thou art melted by the fire
Of such as unto thee petition

2

To crop thy Virgin blooms, and then
Will leave the branches bare and base:
Of such licentious greedy men
As leave poor Ladies in disgrace;

3

Who (Jason-like) will never spare
To spoil the cask, so they can get
What Jewels it includeth rare;
Ev'n for the Gem spoil th' Cabinet.

4

Attend not to Mercurian lips,
60

Gay raiment, or Atalanta's balls,
If once thy foot in publick slip,
Thousands will lurk to give thee falls.

5

And this sage counsel I bequeath
You for your good, because I see,
By the inticement of a breath,
You fell so gently down for me.
