When Will doth long t'effect hir own desires
She makes the Wit (as Vassall to the Wil)
To do what she (how ere vnright) requires,
Which Wit doth (though repiningly) fulfill:
Yet, as well pleas'd (o temporizing Wit!)
He seems t' effect hir pleasure willingly;
And all his Reasons to hir Reach doth fit:
So, like the World, gets loue by flattery
That this is true, a Thousand Witnesses
(Impartial Conscience) wil directly proue;
Then, if we would not willingly transgresse,
Our Will should swayed be by Rules of Loue:
Which hides the Multitude of Sins, because,
Hir Sire, thereby, to him his Seruants drawes.
