In Amicam dotem quærentem.

Epig. 60.

(---) Loues me, and woo'd wed, but wot ye what?
Vnlesse I make her Ioynture shee will not.
And whats this Ioynture. A future Estate
:Purchast by Prouidence, possest by Fate.
Whereon to Hopes vnkindnesse, griefe t'inioy,
A Sin, to wish for, in it selfe a toy.

A meerly neerl' Inuention, onely fit
To part false hearts, and not to Ioyne on it.
Then (---) on Ioynture doe not so much stand,
:All faithfull Louers are not borne to Land.
It breeds Distrust: Inferres suspition
Of other dislikes, to dislike thee on.
For was thy Loue, so firme as mine! with me
Thou'dst thinke no other but to liue and die.
Yet bee't as 'twill! ere Ile my Loue forgoe,
For want of what I need not: this Ile doe,
Take mee! Ile play th' Good-husband, and I will
Both Day and Night bee getting for thee still.
And what I get (and I will get for Life,)
Dying Ile wholly leaue vppon my Wife.
If this contents not! marke then what Ile say,
Dues must not bee demaunded till the Day.

Let (---) then Iustly Ioyne me to her now,
And then aske Ioynture when it shall grow Due.
