Love

Behod, this …
Of Horses, Coa… …
That moverh …
And doth …
Then when the S… the South doth …
He bai…s him …;
I heard a grave and …tere Clar…,
Resolv'd him Pilot both and Barque…
That like the fam'd Ship of Trever…,
Did on the Shore himself Lavere:
Yet the Authentick do beleeve,
Who keep their Judgement in their Sleeve▪
That he is his own Double man,
And sick, still carries his Se…an:
Or that like Dames i'th Land of Luyck,
He wears his ev…asting Huyck:
But banisht, I admire his fate
Since neither Ostracisme of State,
Nor a perpet…al exile,
Can force this Virtue, change his Soyl;
For wheresoever he doth go,
He wanders with his Country too.
