A too bold captain perished by the fall,

ELEGIES.

ELEGY I.

JEALOUSY.

FOND woman, which would'st have thy husband die,

And yet complain'st of his great jealousy:

If swoln with poison he lay in his last bed,
His body with a cere-cloth covered,

Drawing his breath, as thick and short as can
The nimblest crotcheting musician,
Ready with loathsome vomiting to spew
His soul out of one hell into a new,

Made deaf with his poor kindred's howling cries,
Begging with few feigned tears great legacies,
Thou would'st not weep, but jolly and frolic be,
As a slave, which to-morrow should be free;
Yet weep'st thou, when thou seest him hungerly
Swallow his own death, heart's-bane jealousy.
O give him many thanks, he's courteous,
That in suspecting kindly warneth us;
We must not, as we used, flout openly,
