What shall I doe? my love I will not slave
To an old King, (though he my love should crave.)
An.
If he to one unworthy would thee tye,
What ere he urge, let not thy voyce sound hye,
Prayers arme the virgin, If intreat; 'tis done,
Sterne fathers, by no other art are woon.
Smooth foreheads more prevaile, than these averse
Hard hearts, submission, and not feare can pierce.
The Pine-tree Nut thou canst not break with blow
But a soft fire, the shels wide open throws.
Mild power doth compasse that which rough vio∣lence never can. Claud.
Where men by favour strive to git Gods favour, and incourage it, But the same gods when force is us'd, (As angry) thinke themselves abus'd.
