111.SP1.HE1  %XTo S%5r%6 Henry Wooton,
111.SP1.001  Here is no more newes then vertue, I may as well
111.SP1.002  Tell yo:%5u%6 Callis, or S:%5t%6 Michells tale for newes as tell
111.SP1.003  That vice doth here habitually dwell.|
111.SP1.004  Yett as to gett stomackes we walke vp & downe
111.SP1.005  And toile to sweeten rest, So may god frowne
111.SP1.006  If but to loth both, I haunt Courte or towne.|
111.SP1.007  For here no one is, from y%5e%6 extremitye
111.SP1.008  Of Vice, by anie other reason free
111.SP1.009  But y%5t%6 y%5e%6 next to him, still is worse then he.|
111.SP1.010  In this worldes warfare, they whom rugged fate
111.SP1.011  (Godes Comissarie) doth so throughly hate
111.SP1.012  As in y%5e%6 Courts squadron to marshall their state
111.SP1.013  If they stand armd, w%5th%6 seely honesty
111.SP1.014  W%5th%6 wishing prayers, & neat Integrity
111.SP1.015  Like Indians gainst Spanish hostes they be [CW: om]
111.SP1.016  Suspitious boldnes to this place belongs [f.(46)]
111.SP1.017  And to have as many eares as all have tongues
111.SP1.018  Tender to know, tough to acknowledge wronges.|
111.SP1.019  Beleeve me S:%5r%6 in my youthes giddiest daies
111.SP1.020  When to be like y%5e%6 courte, was a plaies praise
111.SP1.021  Plaies were not so like courtes, as courtes are like plaies.|
111.SP1.022  Then lett vs at theis mimicke Anticques ieast
111.SP1.023  Whose deepest proiects, and egregious giestes
111.SP1.024  Are but dull moralls of a game at Chestes
111.SP1.025  But now it is incongruity to smile
111.SP1.026  Therefore I end, And bid farewell a while
111.SP1.027  At Court, though from Court were y%5e%6 better stile
