005.00A.001  T%+Hou shalt not laugh in this leafe, Muse, nor they
005.00A.002  Whom any pitty warmes; He which did lay
005.00A.003  Rules to make Courtiers, (hee being understood
005.00A.004  May make good Courtiers, but who Courtiers good?)
005.00A.005  Frees from the sting of jests all who in extreme
005.00A.006  Are wreched or wicked: of these two a theame
005.00A.007  Charity and liberty give me. What is hee
005.00A.008  Who Officers rage, and Suiters misery
005.00A.009  Can write, and jest? If all things be in all,
005.00A.010  As I thinke, since all, which were, are, and shall
005.00A.011  Bee, be made of the same elements:
005.00A.012  Each thing, each thing employes or represents,
005.00A.013  Then man is a world; in which, Officers,
005.00A.014  Are the vast ravishing seas; and Suiters,
005.00A.015  Springs; now full, now shallow, now drye; which, to
005.00A.016  That which drownes them, run: These selfe reasons do
005.00A.017  Prove the world a man, in which, officers
005.00A.018  Are the devouring stomacke, and Suiters
005.00A.019  The excrements, which they voyd; all men are dust,
005.00A.020  How much worse are Suiters, who to mens lust
005.00A.021  Are made preyes. O worse then dust, or wormes meat,
005.00A.022  For they do eate you now, whose selves wormes shall %/(eate.
005.00A.023  They are the mills which grinde you, yet you are [CW:The]
005.00A.024  The winde which drives them; and a wastfull warre [p.347]
005.00A.025  Is fought against you, and you fight it; they
005.00A.026  Adulterate lawe, and you prepare their way 
005.00A.027  Like wittals, th'issue your owne ruine is;
005.00A.028  Greatest and fairest Empresse, know you this?
005.00A.029  Alas, no more then Thames calme head doth know
005.00A.030  Whose meades her armes drowne, or whose corne %/(o'rflow.
005.00A.031  You Sir, whose righteousnes she loves, who%M I
005.00A.032  By having leave to serve, am most richly
005.00A.033  For service paid, authorized, now beginne
005.00A.034  To know and weed out this enormous sinne.
005.00A.035  O Age of rusty iron! Some better wit
005.00A.036  Call it some worse name, if ought equall it;
005.00A.037  The iron Age %1that%2 was, when justice was sold, now
005.00A.038  Injustice is sold deerer farre; allow
005.00A.039  All demands, fees, and duties; gamsters, anon
005.00A.040  The mony which you sweat, and sweare for, is gon
005.00A.041  Into other hands: So controverted lands
005.00A.042  Scape, like Angelica, the strivers hands.
005.00A.043  If Law be in the Judges heart, and hee
005.00A.044  Have no heart to resist letter, or fee,
005.00A.045  Where wilt thou appeale? powre of the Courts below
005.00A.046  Flow from the first maine head, and these can throw
005.00A.047  Thee, if they sucke thee in, to misery,
005.00A.048  To fetters, halters; But if the injury
005.00A.049  Steele thee to dare complaine; Alas, thou goest
005.00A.050  Against the stream, when upwards: when thou art most
005.00A.051  Heavy and most faint; and in these labours they,
005.00A.052  Gainst['Gainst(TxAM1,DFo,OJn,MH)] whom thou should'st complaine, will in the %\(way [CW:Become]
005.00A.053  Become great seas, o'r which, when thou shalt bee [p.348]
005.00A.054  Forc'd to make golden bridges, thou shalt see
005.00A.055  That all thy gold was drown'd in them before;
005.00A.056  All things follow their like, only, who have, may have %\(more 
005.00A.057  Judges are Gods; he who made and said them so,
005.00A.058  Meant not that men should be forc'd to them to goe,
005.00A.059  By meanes of Angels; When supplications
005.00A.060  We send to God, to Dominations,
005.00A.061  Powers, Cherubins, and all heavens Court, if wee
005.00A.062  Should pay fees as here, Daily bread would be
005.00A.063  Scarce to Kings; so'tis, would it not anger
005.00A.064  A Stoicke, a coward, yea a Martyr,
005.00A.065  To see a Pursivant come in, and call
005.00A.066  All his cloathes, Copes; Bookes, Primers; and all
005.00A.067  His Plate, Challices; and mistake them away,
005.00A.068  And lack a fee for comming; Oh, ne'r may
005.00A.069  Faire lawes white reverend name be strumpeted, 
005.00A.070  To warrant thefts: she is established
005.00A.071  Recorder to Destiny, on earth, and shee
005.00A.072  Speakes Fates words, and tells who must bee
005.00A.073  Rich, who poore, who in chaires, who in jayles:
005.00A.074  Shee is all faire, but yet hath foule long nailes,
005.00A.075  With which she scracheth Suiters; In bodies
005.00A.076  Of men; so in law, nailes are extremities,
005.00A.077  So Officers stretch to more then Law can doe,
005.00A.078  As our nailes reach what no else part comes to.
005.00A.079  Why barest thou to yon Officer? Foole, Hath hee
005.00A.080  Got those goods, for which men bared to thee?
005.00A.081  Foole, twice, thrice, thou hast bought wrong, and now %/(hungerly [CW:Begst][miscatch]
005.00A.082  Beg'st right; But that dole comes not till these dye. [p.349]
005.00A.083  Thou had'st much, & lawes Urim and Thummim trie
005.00A.084  Thou wouldst for more; and for all hast paper
005.00A.085  Enough to cloath all the great Carricks Pepper.
005.00A.086  Sell that, and by that thou much more shalt leese,
005.00A.087  Then Haman, when he sold his Antiquities.
005.00A.088  O wretch that thy fortunes should moralize
005.00A.089  Esops fables, and make tales, prophesies.
005.00A.090  Thou art the swimming dog whom shadows cosened,
005.00A.091  And div'st, neare drowning, for what vanished.[CW:%1A%2]

005.00A.0$$  No ind; in l.56 %1M%2 shows "\(more"--EWS gave it as "/(more"--a likely error, 
since there isn't room for it on l.57 (in %1M%2); period in l.87 is diamond shaped in %1M%2. l. 30: o'rflow is followed by a period in all copies; in some copies it looks almost like a colon, but it's just part of the frame (see TxAM copy for clear view).
