Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak;

Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit,

35 Smother’d in errors, feeble, [shallow], weak,

The folded meaning of your words’ deceit.

Against my soul’s pure truth why labour you

To make it wander in an unknown field?

Are you a god? would you create me new?

40 Transform me, then, and to your power I’ll yield.

But if that I am I, then well I know

Your weeping sister is no wife of mine,
