They care nor feare, For what they sweare.

An.
Let neither promise, nor complaint perswade,Nor his laments thy tender brest invade.Seest thou that Reed, which when the North winde blowesBowes downe it's head, and like a suppliant showes;But the gust past, it growes straight as a line,And of the former storme remaines no signe.The Bee makes honey till his sting be gone,But that once lost, he soone becomes a Drone.The sutor sues, and seekes, and gives good words,Whilst she stands off, and no kind grace affoords:But with contempt and scoffing he'l retire,When he hath once obtain'd his wisht desire.Rash oathes by raging lovers uttered, bindLike words inscrib'd on water, or in wind.

Hot love groweth soone cold; and faith plighted with feigned vowes as it is tyed without conscience, so for the most part it is broken without care.
