112.B13.007  Life is a voyage, and in lifes wayes
112.B13.008  Countries, Cou%5rt%6s, townes, are Rocks, or Remoraes.
112.B13.009  They brake, or stopp all shippes: yet ou%5r%6 states such
112.B13.010  (y%5t%6 though worse then pitch they staine) wee must touch
112.B13.011  Yf in the furnace of the euen lyne,
112.B13.012  Or vnder th'advers Icie poles thou pyne
112.B13.013  Thou know'st twoe temperate Regions gyrded in

112.B13.015  Parch't in the Cou%5rt%6, or in the Cuntrey frozen

112.B13.019  Citties are worst of all three; of all three?
112.B13.020  (O knottie Ridle) each is worst equally
112.B13.021  Citties are sepulche%5r%6s, they y%5t%6 dwell there
112.B13.022  are Carcases, as yf noe such there were
112.B13.023  And Courts are Theate%5r%6s where some men playe
112.B13.024  Princes, some slaves, all to one end, & at one daye
112.B13.025  The Cuntrie is a desart, where noe good
112.B13.026  gayn'd doth in habitt; nor borne's vnderstoode
112.B13.027  There men become beastes, & proane to more evills
112.B13.028  In Citties blocks, & in the Cou%5rt%6, they'r divells
112.B13.029  As in the first Chaos Confusedly

112.B13.033  And mingled thus ther yssue's monsterous
112.B13.034  falshoode is faire, virtue is barbarous.
