You are meek, and humble.

You fign your place and calling, in full feeming,
With meekness and humility; but your heart
Is cramm'd with arrogancy, fpleen, and pride.
You have by fortune, and his Highness' favours,
Gone flightly o'er low fteps; and now are mounted,
Where powers are your retainers; and
and your
Domesticks to you, ferve your will as't pleafe L

A

Yet thus far, Griffith, give me leave to speak him,
And yet with charity; he was a r

a man

Of an unbounded ftomach, ever ranking
Himself with princes; one, that by fuggeftion
Ty'd all the kingdom. Simony was fair play.
His own opinion was his law. I' th' prefence
He would fay untruths, and be ever double
Both in his words and meaning. He was never,
But where he meant to ruin, pitiful.

His promifes were, as he then was, mighty;
But his performance, as he now is, nothing.
Of his own body he was ill, and gave
The clergy ill example.c

HOW O MA IN MAN'S DRESS.
You must forget to be a woman; change
Command into obedience; fear and nicenefs,
The handmaids of all women, or, more truly,
Woman its pretty felf, to waggish courage;
Ready in gybes, quick-anfwer'd, faucy, and
As quarrellous as the weazel: nay, you must
Forget that rareft treasure of your cheek;
Expofing it (but, oh, the harder heart!
Alack, no remedy) to the greedy touch
Of common-kiffing Titan; and forget
Your labourfome and dainty trims, wherein
You have made Juno angry.

Were it not thy four leifure gave sweet leave
To entertain the time with thoughts of love,
(Which time and thoughts fo fweetly doth deceive)
And that thou teacheft how to make one twain,
By praifing him here, who doth hence remain!
Sonnets, No.

From you have I been abfent in the fpring,
When proud-pied April, drefs'd in all his trim,
Hath put a fpirit of youth in every thing;
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any fummer's ftory tell,

Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew:
Nor did I wonder at the lilies white,
Nor praife the deep vermilion in the rofe:
They were but fweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all thofe.

Yet feem'd it winter ftill, and, you away,
As with your shadow I with thefe did play.
