y. KIxe. Faith must leave thce love- and shortly too

Are base respects Of thrift but OF love
second time kill my husband dead,
When second husband kisses me in bed.
Y. KING do believe you think what You speak
But, what We do determine oft we break
Purpose Is but the slave memory
OF violent birth but poor validity
Which now, like fruit unripe, stick on the tree, A
But fall, mistaken, when they mellow be.
Most necessary It's that forget
To pay ourselves what to ourseives.is debt
What TO ourselves In passion propose,
The passion ending doth the purpose lose.
The violence Of either grief or joy
Their own enactures, with themselves destroy;
Where joy most reyes, grief doth most lament
Griet joys, JOY grie,es on slender accident
This world is not for ave Ills not strange
That our loves should with fortunes change;
For lis question LEFT ms yet prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies
The poor advanced makes friends OF enemies.
And hitherto doth love fortune tend
For who not needs shall lack friend
Aud who in hollow friend doth try
Directly seasons him his enemy,
Hut, orderly 70 end where begun -
Our wills and htes do = contrary run.
That our devices still owithrown;
Our thoughts ours, their ends none Of our own:
SO think thou wilt second husband wed, pJ
But die thy thoughts when thy FIRST lord Is dead.
