111.H05.HE1  %XTo S%5r%6 Henry Wotton. 
111.H05.001  Heere is noe more newes, then Vertue: I may as well
111.H05.002  Tell you Callis or S%5t%6 Michaells tales for newes, as tell
111.H05.003  that vice doth heere habitually dwell.
111.H05.004  yet, as to get stomackes we walke vp and downe,
111.H05.005  and toyle to sweeten rest, so may God frowne
111.H05.006  yf (but to loath both) I haunt Court or Towne.
111.H05.007  for heere noe one is from th' extremity
111.H05.008  of vice, by any other reason, free,
111.H05.009  but that the next to him 's still worse then he.
111.H05.010  In this worlds warrefare, they whome rugged fate
111.H05.011  (God's Com%Missary) doth soe throughly hate,
111.H05.012  as in the Court-squadron to Marshall their state;
111.H05.013  yf they stand armd' with silly honesty,
111.H05.014  with wishinge, prayers, and neate Integrity;
111.H05.015  like Indians 'gainst Spanish hoasts they be.
111.H05.016  Suspitious boldnes to this place belonges,
111.H05.017  and t' haue as many eares, as all haue tongues.
111.H05.018  tender to knowe, tough to acknowledge wronges.
111.H05.019  Beleiue me s%5r%6 in my young'st gyddiest dayes,
111.H05.020  when, to be like the Court, was a playes prayse,
111.H05.021  playes were not soe like Courts, as Courts are like playes.
111.H05.022  Then let vs at these Mimicke Antickes iest,
111.H05.023  whose deepest proiects, and egregious Gests
111.H05.024  are but dull moralls of a game at chests.
111.H05.025  But nowe %J'tis%K incongruity to smile [mvar:it is]
111.H05.026  wherefore I end, and bid farewell awhile
111.H05.027  At Court, though, from Court, were the better stile.
