002.VA2.HE1  %XSatyra secunda.
002.VA2.001  S%5r%6 though (I thanke god for it) I doe hate
002.VA2.002  Perfectly all this Towne, yet there is a[sic] state
002.VA2.003  In all ill thinges so excellently best
002.VA2.004  That hate towards them breeds pitty towards y%5e%6 rest
002.VA2.005  Though Poetry indeed be such a sinne
002.VA2.006  As I thinke that bringes dearths and Spaniards in,
002.VA2.007  Though like the Pestelence and old fashiond loue
002.VA2.008  It ridingly[sic] catch men, and doth remoue
002.VA2.009  Neuer till it be steru'd out. Yet there state
002.VA2.010  Is poore disarmd like papists not worth hate
002.VA2.011  One, like a wretch which at barre iudged as dead
002.VA2.012  Yet prompts him that stands >%Vnext< that could not reade
002.VA2.013  And saues his life, giues ideote Actors meanes
002.VA2.014  (Staruinge him selfe) to liue by his labourd Sceanes.
002.VA2.015  As in some organs puppetts dance aboue
002.VA2.016  And bellowes pante belowe w%5ch%6 doe them moue
002.VA2.017  One would moue loue, by rithmes, but witch-craft-charmes
002.VA2.018  Bringe not now there old feares, nor there old harmes.
002.VA2.019  Rammes and slinges now are silly battery,
002.VA2.020  Pistolets are the best artillery.
002.VA2.021  And they who writte to Lords rewards to gett
002.VA2.022  Are they not like boyes singinge at doore for meate?
002.VA2.023  And they who write because all write, haue still
002.VA2.024  That scuse for writeinge, and for writeinge ill.
002.VA2.025  But he is worst who beggarly doth chawe
002.VA2.026  Others witts fruits and in his rauenouse mawe
002.VA2.027  Rankly digested doth those thinges out spew
002.VA2.028  As his owne thinges: and th'are his owne; 'tis trewe
002.VA2.029  For if owne[sic] eate my meate though it be knowne
002.VA2.030  The meate was mine th'excre%Mnt's his owne.
002.VA2.031  But those doe me no harme, nor they which vse
002.VA2.032  To out doe Dildoes and out vsuer Iewes.
002.VA2.033  T[sic] out drinke the Sea out sweare the Letany,
002.VA2.034  Who with sinns all kinds as familier be
002.VA2.035  As Confessors, and for whose sinfull sake
002.VA2.036  Schoolemen in Hell new tenements must make
002.VA2.037  Whose strange sins Canonists could hardly tell
002.VA2.038  In what commaundments Large receipt they dwell,
002.VA2.039  But these punish themselues, The insolence
002.VA2.040  Of Coscus only breeds my harts[sic] offence;
002.VA2.041  Whom time (w%5ch%6 rotts. all and makes botches pox,
002.VA2.042  And ploddinge on must make a Calfe an Oxe)
002.VA2.043  Hath made a Lawyer, which was alasse of late
002.VA2.044  But a scarse Poet. Iollier of his[sic] state
002.VA2.045  Then are new benifized ministers, he throwes
002.VA2.046  Like netts or lime-twiggs wheresoere he goes [CW:om
002.VA2.047  His title %Yof%Zof Barister on euery wench [f.7
002.VA2.048  And woes in Language of the pleas and bench.
002.VA2.049  A motion Ladye; speake Coscus. I haue beene
002.VA2.050  In loue e're since Tricessimo of the Queene
002.VA2.051  Continuall claimes I haue made, Iniunctions gott
002.VA2.052  To stay my Riualls suite, y%5t%6 he should not
002.VA2.053  Proceed; spare me in Hillary tearme I went
002.VA2.054  You sayd if I returnd this 'Sise in Lent
002.VA2.055  I should be in Remitter of your Grace
002.VA2.056  In th'interim my Letters should take place
002.VA2.057  Of Affe-dauitts. Words, words y%5t%6 would teare
002.VA2.058  The tender Laborinth of a soft mayds eare.
002.VA2.059  More more then ten Sclauonian scoldings, more
002.VA2.060  Then when winds in our ruind Abbies rore
002.VA2.061  When sicke with Poetry and possesd with muse
002.VA2.062  Thou was, and mad I hopd': but men which chuse
002.VA2.063  Law practice for meare gaine, boulde soule repute
002.VA2.064  Worse then embrotheld strumpets prostitute
002.VA2.065  Now like an Owle-like watch man he must walke
002.VA2.066  His hand still at a Bill, now he must talke
002.VA2.067  Idlely like Prisoners, which whole mouthes[sic] will sweare
002.VA2.068  That only Suerty-shipe hath brought them there
002.VA2.069  And to euery Sutor lye in euery thinke%>>thinge<
002.VA2.070  Like a kings-fauorite yea like a kinge.
002.VA2.071  Like a wedge ****#in a blocke wringe to the barre
002.VA2.072  Bearinge like Asses; and more shamelesse farre
002.VA2.073  The Carted whoores lye to the graue Iudge, for
002.VA2.074  Bastardie abounds not, [sic]Kinges tittles, nor
002.VA2.075  Simonye, and Sodomie in Church men liues
002.VA2.076  As these things doe in him; by these he thriues
002.VA2.077  Shortly (as the Sea) he will compasse all our Land
002.VA2.078  From Scotts to [sic]Weight, from Mount to Douer strand
002.VA2.079  And spyinge heires meltinge in Luxurie
002.VA2.080  Sathan[sic] would not ioy at there sins as he
002.VA2.081  For as a thrifty wench scrapes kitchinge-stuffe
002.VA2.082  And barrellinge the droppings of the snuffe
002.VA2.083  Of wastinge Candles, which in thirtye yeare
002.VA2.084  Relickly kept, perchance buyes weddinge geare,
002.VA2.085  Peece-meale he getts lands and spends as much time
002.VA2.086  Wringinge each Acre, as men pullinge Prime.
002.VA2.087  In Parchments then large as his feilds he drawes
002.VA2.088  Assurances, big as the glossd Ciuill Lawes.
002.VA2.089  So huge that men in our times forwardnesse
002.VA2.090  Are fathers of the Church for writinge lesse.
002.VA2.091  These he writes not, nor for these written payes
002.VA2.092  There fore spares no length; as in those first dayes [CW:om
002.VA2.093  When Luther was profest he did desire [f.7v
002.VA2.094  Short Pater Nosters, sayinge as a Frier
002.VA2.095  Each day his Beades; but haueinge left the[sic] Lawes
002.VA2.096  Ads to Christs prayer, The power and glory clause,
002.VA2.097  But when he sells or changes lande h'impayres
002.VA2.098  His writings, and vnwatcht leaues out his heires
002.VA2.099  As slylie as any com%Menter goes by
002.VA2.100  Hard words or sence; or in Diuinitye
002.VA2.101  As controverters in vowcht texts leaues[sic] out
002.VA2.102  Shrewd words which might against them cleere y%5e%6 doubt
002.VA2.103  Where are those spread-words, which cloathd' heretofore
002.VA2.104  These bought Lands? not built or burnt w%5th%6in doore
002.VA2.105  With the old Land-lords troopes, and almes in great Halls.
002.VA2.106  Carthusian fasts and fulsome Bacchanalls
002.VA2.107  Equally I hate, means blesse: In greate mens homes
002.VA2.108  I bid kill some beasts, [sic]no Hecatombs.
002.VA2.109  None starue, none surett soe. But oh we allow
002.VA2.110  Good works as good but out of fashion now.
002.VA2.111  Like old rich wardroabes. But my words none drawes
002.VA2.112  With in the vast reach of huge Statute Lawes.
