To his Mistress upon his going to travell.
〈♫〉〈♫〉 DEarest do not now de╌lay me, since thou knowst I must be╌gone; Wind & Tyde 'tis thought doth stay me, but 'tis wind that must be blown from thy breath, whose na╌tive smell Indi╌an Odours doth ex╌cell.
O then speak, my Dearest Fayre,Kill not him who vowes to serve thee,But perfume the Neighb'ring Ayre,For dumb silence else will starve me'Tis a word is quickly spoken,Which restrain'd, a heart is broken.
