111.SN4.001  Heere is noe more Newes, then Virtue, I may as well
111.SN4.002  Tell you %1Calys%2, or %1S%5t%6 Michalls%2 tale for Newes, as tell
111.SN4.003  That %1Vyce%2 doth heere habitually dwell.
111.SN4.004  Yet as to gett stomacke[sic] wee walke vpp and downe,
111.SN4.005  And toyle to sweten[sic] rest; soe may God frowne
111.SN4.006  If but to loath both, I haunte Courte or Towne.
111.SN4.007  ffor heere is noe one from th'extremitee
111.SN4.008  Of vyce by any other reason free,
111.SN4.009  But that the next to him still is worse then hee.
111.SN4.010  In this worldes warfare, they whome rugged ffate,
111.SN4.011  Gods Comissarye, doth soe throughly hate
111.SN4.012  As in the Courtes squadron to marshall their state,
111.SN4.013  If they stand arm'd w.%5th%6 seely honestee,
111.SN4.014  [l.c.]w%5th%6 wishing prayers, and neate integritee,
111.SN4.015  Like %1Indeans%2 gainst %1Spanish%2 hostes they bee.
111.SN4.016  Suspitious boldnes to this place belonges,
111.SN4.017  And to haue as many eares as all haue tonges;
111.SN4.018  Tender to knowe, toughe to accknowledge[sic] wronges.
111.SN4.019  Beleeue mee S.%5r%6, in my youthes gyddiest dayes,
111.SN4.020  When to bee like the Courte was a Players prayse,
111.SN4.021  Playes weare not soe like Courtes, as Courtes are like Plays [CW:om]
111.SN4.022  Then let vs at these Mim%Mick Antickes iest,	[f.18]
111.SN4.023  Whose deepest proiectes, and egrious[sic] gestes,
111.SN4.024  Are but dull morralls of a game at Chests.
111.SN4.025  But nowe 'tis incongruity to smyle,
111.SN4.026  Thearfore I end; and bidd farewell a while,
111.SN4.027  At Courte, thoughe from Courte weare the better style.
