111.H06.HE1 %XTo S.%5r%6 Henry Wotton
111.H06.001 Heere's no more Newes then Vertue; I may as well
111.H06.002 Tell yo%5u%6 Callis or S%5t%6 Michels tales, as tell
111.H06.003 That vice doth heere habitually dwell
111.H06.004 yet, as to get Stomacks wee walke up and downe
111.H06.005 And toyle to sweeten rest (So may God frowne)
111.H06.006 If (but to loath both) I haunt Court or Towne
111.H06.007 ffor heere no one is from th'Extremity
111.H06.008 of vice by any other reason free
111.H06.009 But that the next to him's still worse then hee
111.H06.010 In this worlds warfare, they whome rugged fate,
111.H06.011 Gods Com%Missary, doth so throughly hate
111.H06.012 As i'th Courts Squadron to Marshall theyr %Ye%Zstate [CW:If--]
111.H06.013 If they stand arm'd with silly honesty [p.201]
111.H06.014 With wishes pray'res and neat Integrity
111.H06.015 Like Indians 'gaynst Spanish hosts they bee
111.H06.016 Suspitious boldnesse to this place belongs
111.H06.017 And t'haue as many eares as all haue tongues
111.H06.018 Tender to knowe, tough to acknowledge wrongs
111.H06.019 Beleeue mee, S%5r%6, in my %Jyoungst%K[var:\>youths</] giddiest dayes
111.H06.020 When to bee like the Court was a play%Yer%Z-->plays prayse
111.H06.021 Plays were not so like Courts, as Co%5r%6ts like playes
111.H06.022 Then let vs at the mimick Antiques Iest
111.H06.023 Whose deepest proiects, and egregious Gests
111.H06.024 Ar but dull Moralls of a Game at Chesse
111.H06.025 %YTherefore%Z[see_notes]/But now tis Incongruity to Smile
111.H06.026 Therefore I end and bidd farwell a while
111.H06.027 At Court, though From Court were the better /stile
