Above one sigh a day I'allow'd him not, Of which my fortune, and my faults had part; And if sometimes by stealth he got A she sigh from my mistresse heart, 10 And thought to feast on that, I let him see 'Twas neither very sound, nor meant to mee. If he wroung from mee'a teare, I brin'd it so With scorne or shame, that him it nourish'd not; If he suck'd hers, I let him know 15 'Twas not a teare, which hee had got, His drinke was counterfeit, as was his meat; For, eyes which rowle towards all, weepe not, but sweat. What ever he would dictate, I writ that, But burnt my letters; When she writ to me, 20 And that that favour made him fat, I said, if any title bee Convey'd by this, Ah, what doth it availe, To be the fortieth name in an entaile? Thus I reclaim'd my buzard love, to flye 25 At what, and when, and how, and where I chuse; Now negligent of sport I lye, And now as other Fawkners use, I spring a mistresse, sweare, write, sigh and weepe: And the game kill'd, or lost, goe talke, and sleepe. 30 [Loves diet. _1633-69_, _A18_, _A25_, _B_, _C_, _Cy_, _D_, _H40_, _H49_, _L74_, _Lec_, _N_, _O'F_, _P_, _S_, _TCC_ (_torn out of TCD_): Amoris Dieta. _S96_] [12 mee. _Ed:_ mee; _1633-35:_ mee: _1639-69_] [18 For,] Her _1669_] [19 Whatever ... that, _1633-39_, _1669:_ Whate'er might him distast I still writ that, _1650-54:_ Whatsoever hee would distast I writt that, _A18_, _N_, _TC_] [20 But burnt my letters; When she writ to me, _1633:_ But burnt her letters when she writ to me, _1635:_ But burnt her letters when she writ to me; _1639-54_, _Chambers:_ But burnt my letters which she writ to me; _1669_] [21 that that _1633:_ if that _1635-69_. _See note_] [24 name] man _1669_] [25 reclaim'd _1635-69_, _A18_, _A25_, _B_, _D_, _H40_, _H49_, _L74_, _N_, _O'F_, _S_, _TCC:_ redeem'd _1633_, _Lec_] [26 chuse] chose _1669_] [27 sport _1635-69_, _A18_, _B_, _D_, _H40_, _H49_, _L74_, _Lec_, _S_, _S96_, _TCC:_ sports, _1633_] [30 and _1633 and most MSS.:_ or _1635-69_, _Cy_, _O'F_, _S_] _The Will._ Before I sigh my last gaspe, let me breath, Great love, some Legacies; Here I bequeath Mine eyes to _Argus_, if mine eyes can see, If they be blinde, then Love, I give them thee; My tongue to Fame; to'Embassadours mine eares; 5 To women or the sea, my teares.
