111.00E.0HE %X%1To S%2%5r%6. %1Henry Wootton%2.
111.00E.001 H%+Ere's no more newes, than vertue, I may as wel
111.00E.002 Tell you %1Calis%2, or Saint %1Michaels%2 tales, as tel
111.00E.003 That vice doth here habitually dwell.
111.00E.004 Yet, as to get stomachs, we walk up and down,
111.00E.005 And toyle to sweeten rest; so, may God frown,
111.00E.006 If but to loath both, I haunt Court, or Town. [CW:For]
111.00E.007 For, here, no one is from th'extremitie [p.152]
111.00E.008 Of vice, by any other reason free,
111.00E.009 But that the next to him, still, is worse than he.
111.00E.010 In this worlds warfare, they whom rugged Fate,
111.00E.011 (Gods Commissary,) doth so throughly hate,
111.00E.012 As in'the Courts Squadron to marshall their state:
111.00E.013 If they stand arm'd with seely honesty,
111.00E.014 With wishes, prayers, and neat integritie,
111.00E.015 Like Indians,'gainst Spanish hosts they be.
111.00E.016 Suspitious boldnesse to this place belongs,
111.00E.017 And to have as many eares as all have tongues;
111.00E.018 Tender to know, tough to acknowledge wrongs.
111.00E.019 Beleeve me sir, in my youths giddiest dayes,
111.00E.020 When to be like the Court was a players praise,
111.00E.021 Playes were not so like Courts as Courts like playes.
111.00E.022 Then let us at these mimique antiques jeast,
111.00E.023 Whose deepest projects, and egregious gests,
111.00E.024 Are but dull Morals of a game at Chests.
111.00E.025 But now'tis incongruitie to smile,
111.00E.026 Therefore I end; and bid farewell a while.
111.00E.027 %1At Court%2; though from Court, were the better stile.
