A Letter of Reconciliation.
HOnest Daniel, I thought to trie the vertue of thy
loue in thy patience, but I see we are all weake,
when rage gets vpto his height. Reason is a poore
man, if thou diddest thinke I was madde, thou mightest
haue béene sory and not angry, and if well in my wits,
thou mightest haue thought it an humor of iest to trie a
friend in earnest: onely louers haue not beene of a little
continuance, and shall a conceit of vnkindnesse breake
the knot of our friendship, ••acre bee it from both and ei∣ther
of vs, thou knowest thine owne desert, and my dis∣position
and mightest therefore suspect my distemper of
braine through the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the same disease, then
fall into collor vpon 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of male content: But
since I began a 〈◊〉〈◊〉▪ I will end the combate,
and all causes set aside, loue thee in spight of all spight,
and therefore let vs be as we were, and euer will be, one
minde in two bodies, and so with hearts shaking
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
hands, and shaking of all ill humo••rs, that may make
the least breach into our loues till I see thee, And al∣wayes
I rest:
If not thine, not mine owne.
