002.B32.001  S.%5r%6 Though (I thanke god for it) I doe hate
002.B32.002  Perfectlye all this towne, yet there is one state
002.B32.003  In all ill thinges, soe excellentlye best,
002.B32.004  That hate towards them breedes Pittie toward the rest,
002.B32.005  Though Poetrye indeede be such a sinne,
002.B32.006  As I thincke that bringes Dearth, and spaniards in
002.B32.007  Though like the Pestilence, or olde fashion'd love,
002.B32.008  It riddlinglye catch men, and doth remove
002.B32.009  Never till it be steru'd out; yet theyre state [f.89v]
002.B32.010  Is poore, disarm'd, like Papists, not worth hate;
002.B32.011  Or like a wretch which at Barr, Iudgd as deade
002.B32.012  Yet prompts him which standes next, and cold not read,
002.B32.013  And saues his life, giues Ideott Actors meanes,
002.B32.014  (stearvinge himselfe) to live by his labor'd sceanes;
002.B32.015  As in some Organes Puppets dance above,
002.B32.016  And bellowes pant belowe, which them doe move,
002.B32.017  One would move love by rhimes; but witchcraft charmes
002.B32.018  Bringe not now theyre old feares, nor theyre olde harmes;
002.B32.019  Ramms and slings now are seely Batteree,
002.B32.020  Pistoletts are the best Artillerye>*%>e<.
002.B32.021  [LM]And they who write to lords, /rewards to gett,
002.B32.022  [LM]Are they not like boyes, /singing at dores fo%5r%6 meate?
002.B32.023  And they who write, because all write, haue still
002.B32.024  That scuse for writing, and for writing ill.
002.B32.025  But he is worst, who beggerlye doth chawe
002.B32.026  Others wit>s%>t<s fruites, and in his rauenous mawe
002.B32.027  Rawly disgested, doth these thin>s%>g<es out spue, 
002.B32.028  As his owne thinges; and they are his owne; tis true.
002.B32.029  For if one eate my meate, though it be knowne,
002.B32.030  The meate was myne, the excrement's his owne.
002.B32.031  But they doe mee no>t%>e< harme, nor they which vse
002.B32.032  To outswiue Dildoes; and outvsure Iewes;
002.B32.033  To out drincke the sea; outsweare the letanee
002.B32.034  Who with sinnes all kyndes, as familiar bee,
002.B32.035  As Confes>t%>s<ors, And for whose synfull sake
002.B32.036  Scoolemen new Tenements in Hell must make,
002.B32.037  Whose strange sinns Cannonists could hardlye tell  
002.B32.038  In which Commandments large receipt they dwell
002.B32.039  But these punish themselves. Th>e%>'< Insolence
002.B32.040  Of Coscus, only breedes my greate offence,
002.B32.041  Whom tyme which rotts all, and makes Botches, Pox,
002.B32.042  And plodding on, must make a Calfe, an Oxe,  
002.B32.043  Hath made a lawyer: which was alas of late
002.B32.044  but a scarce Poett: Iollyer: >%Ywhich%Z<of >%Ywas%Z<this >%Yalas#of#late%Z<state
002.B32.045  Then are newe benific'd Mynisters; he throwes
002.B32.046om
002.B32.047  His Title of Barrister on everie wench,
002.B32.048  And woes in language of the Pleas, & bench.
002.B32.049  A motion ladye (speake Coscus) I haue beene
002.B32.050  In love ever since Tricesimo of the Queene
002.B32.051  Continuall clames I haue made: Iniunctions gott
002.B32.052  To stay my Rivalls suite, that he should not
002.B32.053  Proceede; spare mee;  In Hillarye tearme I went
002.B32.054  you sayd, if I return'd this size in lent,
002.B32.055  I should bee in Remitter of your grace,
002.B32.056  In the Interim my letters shovld take place
002.B32.057  Of Affedauitts; words, words, which would teare [f.90]
002.B32.058  The tender laborinth of a soft maydes Eare,
002.B32.059  More, more then ten Sclavonians scoldinge more
002.B32.060  Then when windes in our ruin'd Abbyes rore.
002.B32.061  When sicke of Poetrye, and possest with muse
002.B32.062  Thou wast, and madd, I hop'd; but men which chuse
002.B32.063  lawe Practise for meere gaine, Bold sovle, repute
002.B32.064  Worse then Imbrotheled strumpetts prostitute.
002.B32.065  Nowe like an Owelike watchman he must walke
002.B32.066  His hand still at a bill: Now he must talke
002.B32.067  Idely, like Prisonners, which whole monthes will sweare     
002.B32.068  That onelye suertishipp hath brought them there.
002.B32.069  And to everie sutor lye in everie thinge,
002.B32.070  Like a Kings favorite yea like a King;
002.B32.071  Like a wedge in a blocke wrvnge to the bare
002.B32.072  Bearinge like Asses, and more shamelesse fare
002.B32.073  Then carted whores lye to the graue Iudge: for
002.B32.074  Bastardy abounds not in Kings Titles, nor
002.B32.075  Symony, and sodomy in Church mens lives
002.B32.076  As these thinges doe in him, by these he thrives;
002.B32.077  Shortly (as the sea) he will compasse all our land,
002.B32.078  From Scotts to wight, from Mount to Dover strand,
002.B32.079  And spyinge heires melting with Glvttonye,
002.B32.080  Satan will not ioye at theire sinnes, as hee.
002.B32.081  For as a thrifty wench scrapes kitchin stuffe
002.B32.082  And barreling the droppings, and the snuffe
002.B32.083  Of wastinge Candle, which in thirty yeare
002.B32.084  Relique-like kept, perchance b>y%>u<yes wedding geare,
002.B32.085  Peicemeale he getts land; and spends as much tyme
002.B32.086  Wringinge each Acre, as men pulling prime.
002.B32.087  In Parchments as large, as his fieldes, he drawes
002.B32.088  Assurances; bigg as glos'd Civill lawes.
002.B32.089  Soe huge that men in our tymes forwardnes
002.B32.090  Are fathers of the Church for writing lesse;
002.B32.091  These he writes not, Not for these written payes,
002.B32.092  Therefore spares no length. As in these first daies
002.B32.093  When [lc]luther was profest, he did desire
002.B32.094  Short Pat.%5r%6 Nost%5rs%6, sayinge as a Fryer
002.B32.095  Each day his beades, but haueing left his lawes
002.B32.096  Adds to Christs Prayer, the Powre, and Glory clause,
002.B32.097  But when he sells, or changes land, he impayres [90v]
002.B32.098  His writings, and unwatch'd, leaves out his  heyres,
002.B32.099  As slily as anie commentor goes by,
002.B32.100  Hard words, or sence: Or in divinitie
002.B32.101  As controverters in vovch'd texts leaue ovt
002.B32.102  Such words as might against them cleare the doubte.
002.B32.103  When are these spyed woodes, which cloth'd heretofore
002.B32.104  These bought landes not built, nor burnt within dore?
002.B32.105  Where th' old landlords troopes, & Almes? in greate halls
002.B32.106  Carthusian fasts, and fullsome Bacchanalls
002.B32.107  Equally I hate: Meanes Blesse; In rich mens homes
002.B32.108  I bid kill some beasts, but not Hecatomes.
002.B32.109  None sterue, none surfett so: But oh wee allowe
002.B32.110  Good workes as good, but out of fashion nowe
002.B32.111  Like ould rich wardrops. But my wordes none drawes
002.B32.112  Within the vast reach of the huge statute lawes.
