Constant in nought but in In-constancie And most Vnconstant in that Constancie In nought the same saue not to be the same And of a Being but a very name Still floting fleeting neuer at a stay Hates on

abominate thy mischiefe more Than e're I lou'd or liked thee before As Sea-men Rocks as Children Scorpions flie So Oh my Soule hate worldly Vanitie And oh what 's he that would not leaue most glad
