27

So long as Vnity retaines hir might
She is but only One: the Number Two
Breeding but difference: so indefinite
Doth stil deuide, that so it may vndo;
Eu'n so a Word, or Speech whil they abide
But in the Thought It's cald a Secret right:
But if put foorth forthwith abrode it glydes:
For, words haue wings as swift as Thought in flight
A Ship, vpon her Wings (the Sailes) may be
In roughest winds stayed by her Anchor hold,
When she would into wel-known dangers flee,
And so the same from vtter rack withhould:
But speak a word, and nought shal let it hie,
Oft to the rack of him that let it fly.
