111.VA2.001  Here is no more news then vertue. I may as well
111.VA2.002  Tell y%5u%6 Callis or S%5t%6 Michaels tale for news, as tell 
111.VA2.003  That vice doth here habitually dwell.
111.VA2.004  Yet as to get stomacks wee walke up & down
111.VA2.005  And toyle to sweeten rest: so may God frown
111.VA2.006  If but to loath both I haunt Court & town.
111.VA2.007  For here no one is from th'extremity
111.VA2.008  Of vice by any other reason free.
111.VA2.009  But y%5e%6 next to him still is worse y%5n%6 hee.
111.VA2.010  In this worlds warfare they whom rugged fate.
111.VA2.011  (Gods Commissary) doth so throughly hate
111.VA2.012  As in Courts squadron to marshall their state.
111.VA2.013  If they stand armd with steely honesty
111.VA2.014  With wishing prayers & neat integrity,
111.VA2.015  Like Indians 'gainst Spanish hoasts they bee.
111.VA2.016  Suspition, boldnes to this place belongs,
111.VA2.017  And t'haue as many ears as all haue tongues
111.VA2.018  Tindar to know, tough to acknowledge wrongs.
111.VA2.019  Belieue me Sir in my youths giddiest dayes,
111.VA2.020  When to be like y%5e%6 Court was a Play's praise,
111.VA2.021  Playes were not so like Courts, as Courts %Ywere%Z%>>%Vlike< Playes. [CW:om]
111.VA2.022  Then let us Mimique antiques iest. [f.45v]
111.VA2.023  Whose deepest projects & egregious gests
111.VA2.024  Are but dull moralls of a game at chesse.
111.VA2.025  But now t'is incongruity to smile
111.VA2.026  Therefore I end & bid farewell a while.
111.VA2.027  At Court. (though from Court were y%5e%6 better style.
