002.C02.001  S%5r%6, Though (I thanke God for yt) I doe hate
002.C02.002  Perfectlye all this Towne, yet ther's one State
002.C02.003  In all ill things soe excellentlye best,
002.C02.004  That hate towards them, breeds Pyttye towards y%5e%6 Rest;
002.C02.005  Though Poetrye indeede be such a Sinne
002.C02.006  As I thinke, y%5t%6 brings Dearths, and Spaniards in,
002.C02.007  Though lyke the Pestelence and olld fashioned loue
002.C02.008  Ridlinglye yt catch men; and doth remove
002.C02.009  Never, till yt be sterv'd out; yet theyre State
002.C02.010  Is poore, disarm'd, lyke Papists, not worth hate
002.C02.011  One, (lyke a wretch, w%5ch%6 at Barr Iudgd as deade
002.C02.012  Yett promps him w%5ch%6 stands next, and cannot Reade 
002.C02.013  And saues his lyfe) gives Ideott-Actors Meanes
002.C02.014  (Sterveinge himselfe) to liue by his labor'd Sceanes.
002.C02.015  As in some organ, Puppitts daunce aboue
002.C02.016  And Bellowes pant belowe, w%5ch%6 them doe Moove.
002.C02.017  One woulld moove love by rithmes; But witch-crafts Charmes
002.C02.018  Bring not now theyre olld feares, nor theyre olld harmes.
002.C02.019  Ramms, and Slings now are Sillye Batterye,
002.C02.020  Pistoletts are the best Artillerye.|[CW:(And they.]
002.C02.021  And they who write to Lords, rewards to gett[f.17]
002.C02.022  Are they not lyke singers at doores for Meate?
002.C02.023  And they who write, because all write, haue still
002.C02.024  That excuse for writeinge, and for writeinge Ill;
002.C02.025  But he is worst, whoee (Beggarlye) doth chawe
002.C02.026  Others witts fruites, and in his Ravenous Mawe
002.C02.027  Rankely disgested, doth those Things out Spue
002.C02.028  As his owne things; and they are his owne, t'is true.
002.C02.029  For yf owne eate my Meate, though yt be knowne
002.C02.030  The meate was myne, th' Excrement is his owne.
002.C02.031  But these doe me noe harme; Nor they w%5ch%6 vse
002.C02.032  To out=doe Dilldoes; and out=vsure Iewes;
002.C02.033  To out=drinke the Sea, t'out=sweare y%5e%6 Letanye;
002.C02.034  Who, w%5th%6 Sinns, Of all kinds as familiar bee
002.C02.035  As Confessors; and for whose sinfull Sake
002.C02.036  Schoole men, new Tenements in hell must Make:
002.C02.037  Whose strange sinns, Canonists could hardlye tell
002.C02.038  In w%5ch%6 Comaundements large receyte they dwell.
002.C02.039  But these punnish themselves; The Insolence
002.C02.040  Of Coscus onely breeds my Iust offence,
002.C02.041  Whome tyme (w%5ch%6 rotts all, and makes Botches Poxe,
002.C02.042  And ploddinge on, must make a Calfe, an Oxe)
002.C02.043  Hath made a Lawyer; w%5ch%6 was a Lasse of late,
002.C02.044  But scarce a Poett, Iollyer of this State,
002.C02.045  There are new benific'd Ministers, He throwes
002.C02.046  Lyke Netts, or lime twiggs, where soe ere he goes
002.C02.047  His Tytle  of Barrister, on every wench,
002.C02.048  And woes in language of the Pleas, and Bench
002.C02.049  A Motion, Lady, Speake Coscus; I haue beene
002.C02.050  In loue, ever since Tricesimo of the Queene,
002.C02.051  Continuall Claymes I haue made, Iniunctions gott
002.C02.052  To stay my Rivalls Suite; That he shoulld not
002.C02.053  Proceede, Spare me; In Hillary Terme I went,
002.C02.054  You sayd, If I retourne next Sise in Lent
002.C02.055  I should be in Remitter of your grace;
002.C02.056  In th' Interim my letters should take place
002.C02.057  Of Affedaritts,[sic] words, words, w%5ch%6 would teare
002.C02.058  The tender Laborinth of a Soft Maydes Eare.
002.C02.059  More, more, then Ten Sclavonians scholdinge, more
002.C02.060  Then when Winds in our Ruinde Abbyes Rore,
002.C02.061  When Sicke w%5th%6 Poetrye, and possest with muse
002.C02.062  Thou wast, and Madd, I hop'd; But men w%5ch%6 chuse
002.C02.063  Law practise for more gayne; Bolld Soule repute
002.C02.064  Worse then imbrothel'd Strumpetts prostitute.[CW:(Now,#lyke.]
002.C02.065  Now, lyke an owlelyke watchman, he must walke[f.17v]
002.C02.066  His hand still at a Bill, now he must talke
002.C02.067  Idlye, lyke Prisoners, w%5ch%6 whole Moneths will sweare
002.C02.068  That onely Suretyship hath brought them there,
002.C02.069  And to every Suiter, lye in every thinge,
002.C02.070  Lyke a Kings Favorite, yea lyke a Kinge;
002.C02.071  Lyke a Wedge in a Blocke, wring to the Barr
002.C02.072  Bearinge lyke Asses, and more shameles Farr
002.C02.073  Then carted Whores, lye, to y%5e%6 graue Iudge; For
002.C02.074  Bastardye abounds not in King's Tytles, nor
002.C02.075  Symonye, nor sodomye in Churchmens Lifes
002.C02.076  As these things doe in him; By these he thrives.
002.C02.077  Shortlye (as the Sea) he will compasse all our Lande,
002.C02.078  From Scotts, to Weight; from Mount, to Dover strande.
002.C02.079  And spyeinge heyres meltinge with luxurye
002.C02.080  Sathan will not Ioye at theyre Sins, as Hee.
002.C02.081  For as a Thriftye Wench scrapes Kitchenstuffe
002.C02.082  And Barrellinge y%5e%6 droppings, and the Snuffe
002.C02.083  Of Wastinge Candles, w%5ch%6 in Thirtye yeare
002.C02.084  (Reliquelye kept) perchance buyes weddinge Geare,
002.C02.085  Peece meale he getts lands; and spends as much Tyme
002.C02.086  Wringing each Acree,[sic] As men pulling Prime.
002.C02.087  In Partchment then, large as his Feillds, hee drawes
002.C02.088  Assurances, Bigg, as Glos'd Civill lawes,
002.C02.089  So huge, y%5t%6 men, (in our tymes forwardnes)
002.C02.090  Are Fathers of the Church for writeinge lesse.
002.C02.091  These he writes not; nor for these written payes.
002.C02.092  Therefore spares noe length; As in those first dayes
002.C02.093  When Luther was profest; He did desyre
002.C02.094  Short Pater Nosters, sayinge as a Fryer
002.C02.095  Each day his Beads, but haueinge left those lawes
002.C02.096  Adds to Christs Prayer, the powere & glorye clawse.
002.C02.097  But when he sells, or changes land, h'impayres
002.C02.098  His writeings, and (vnmatch'd) leaves out ses heyres,
002.C02.099  As slylye as any Com%Menter goes by
002.C02.100  Hard words, or sence; Or in Devynitye
002.C02.101  As controverters, in vouch'd Texts, leave out
002.C02.102  Shrew'd words, w%5ch%6 might against them cleare y%5e%6 doubt:
002.C02.103  Where are those spred Woods, w%5ch%6 Cloth'd here to fore
002.C02.104  Those bought lands; Not built, Not burnt w%5th%6in Dore.
002.C02.105  Wher's th'olld landlords Troops, & Almes, Great Halls;
002.C02.106  Carthusian Fasts and fullsome Bacchanalls,
002.C02.107  Equally I hate, Meanes Blesse; in rich mens homes
002.C02.108  I bidd kill some Beasts, But noe Hecatombs,[CW:None sterve]
002.C02.109  None sterve, none surfett soe, But (oh) wee allowe[f.18]
002.C02.110  Good workes as good, But out of Fash%Mon, Now;
002.C02.111  Lyke olld Rich wardrops; But, my words none drawes
002.C02.112  W%5th%6in the Vast reach of thinge%>>t'huge< Statute Lawes.|
