004.SN4.001  Well; I may nowe receaue and dye, my syn
004.SN4.002  Indeed is greate, but I haue bin in
004.SN4.003  A Purgatorie, such as fear'd Hell is
004.SN4.004  A recreation, and scant mapp of this.
004.SN4.005  My mynde nor w.%5th%6 prydes ytch, nor yet hath beene
004.SN4.006  Poy'sned w%5th%6 loue to see, or to bee seene;
004.SN4.007  I had noe Suite theare, nor newe Sute to showe,
004.SN4.008  Yet went to Courte; But as %1Glare%2 w%5ch%6 did goe
004.SN4.009  To a Masse in ieast, catcht, was fayne to disburse
004.SN4.010  The hundred markes w%5ch%6 is the Statutes curse
004.SN4.011  Before hee scap'd; soe it pleas'd my Destinee
004.SN4.012  (Guilty of my syn of going) to thincke mee
004.SN4.013  As prone to all ill, and of good as forgett=
004.SN4.014  full, as proude, lustfull, and as much in dett,
004.SN4.015  As vayne, as witlesse, and as false as thay
004.SN4.016  W%5ch%6 dwell at Courte, for once going that way,
004.SN4.017  Thearfore I suffred this. Towardes mee did runne
004.SN4.018  A thinge more strange then on %1Nyles%2 slyme, the Sunne
004.SN4.019  'Ere bredd, or all w%5ch%6 into %1Noahs%2 Arke came;
004.SN4.020  A thinge w%5ch%6 would haue po'sd %1Adam%2 to name;
004.SN4.021  Straunger then seven Antiquaries studdyes,
004.SN4.022  Then %1Affrick%2 Monsters, %1Guyanaes%2 rarityes, [CW:om]
004.SN4.023  Stranger then Strangers. One who for a %1Dane%2 [f.3v]
004.SN4.024  In the %1Danes%2 massacre had sure bin slayne
004.SN4.025  If hee had lyu'd then; and w%5th%6out helpe dyes
004.SN4.026  When next the Prentises gainst Strangers ryse.
004.SN4.027  One whome the watche at Noone lets scarse goe by,
004.SN4.028  One to whome th'examining Iustice sure would cry
004.SN4.029  S.%5r%6 by yo.%5r%6 preisthood tell mee what you are.
004.SN4.030  His Clothes weare strange thoughe Coorse, and black, though bare,
004.SN4.031  Sleeuelesse his Ierkyn was, and it had beene
004.SN4.032  Veluett, but 'twas nowe (soe much the grounde was seene)
004.SN4.033  Become Tufftaffata, and our Children shall
004.SN4.034  See it playne Rashe a while then noughte at all.
004.SN4.035  This Thinge hath traual'ld, and saith, speakes all tonges,
004.SN4.036  And only knowes what to all States belonges.
004.SN4.037  Made of the accent and best phrase of these
004.SN4.038  Hee speakes one [sic]Languague. If strange meates displease
004.SN4.039  Arte can deceiue, or hunger force my taste.
004.SN4.040  But Pedants motly tounge, Soldyers bumbast,
004.SN4.041  Mountebanckes Drugg=tounge, nor the Tearmes of lawe
004.SN4.042  Are stronge enoughe preparatiues to drawe
004.SN4.043  Mee to beare this, yet must I bee content
004.SN4.044  W%5th%6 his Tonge, in his tounge calld %1Complement%2. [CW:om]
004.SN4.045  In w%5ch%6 hee can winne widdowes, and pay scores, [f.4]
004.SN4.046  Make Men speake Treason, cosen subtilst whores,
004.SN4.047  Outeflatter ffauorites, and oute-lye either             
004.SN4.048  %1Iouius%2 or %1Sucius%2, or both togeither.           
004.SN4.049  Hee names mee, and comes to mee, I whisper God,        
004.SN4.050  Howe haue I sinn'd, that thy *wrathes furious rod,     
004.SN4.051  This ffellowe chooseth mee? Hee saith S.%5r%6,          
004.SN4.052  I loue yo.%5r%6 Iudgment, whome doe you preferre       
004.SN4.053  ffor the best %1Linguist%2? and I seelely                  
004.SN4.054  Sayde, I thoughte %1Calapynes Dictionarye%2;            
004.SN4.055  Nay but of Men most sweete S.%5r%6, %1Beza%2 then,
004.SN4.056  Some other %1Iesuites%2, and two reuerend Men          
004.SN4.057  Of our two %1Academyes%2 I nam'd. Theare               
004.SN4.058  Hee stopt mee, and sayde, nay, yo%5r%6 Apostles weare  
004.SN4.059  Good pretty Linguists, and soe %1Panurge%2 was;    
004.SN4.060  Yet a poore Gentlemen[sic] all these may passe         
004.SN4.061  By trauayle; Then as if hee would haue sold            
004.SN4.062  His tounge, hee prays'd it, and such wounders told      
004.SN4.063  That I was fayne to say, if you had lyu'd S.%5r%6       
004.SN4.064  Tyme enoughe 't haue bin Interpreter                   
004.SN4.065  To %1Babells%2 Bricklayers, sure that Towne[sic] had stood
004.SN4.066  Hee addes, if of Courte lyfe you knewe the good
004.SN4.067  You would leaue lonenesse, I sayde not alone
004.SN4.068  My lonenesse is; but %1Spartans%2 fashione [CW:om]
004.SN4.069  To teache by paintinge Drunckardes doth not laste [f.4v]
004.SN4.070  Nowe, %1Aretynes%2 Pictures haue made fewe Chaste.
004.SN4.071  Noe more can Princes Courtes, thoughe theare bee fewe
004.SN4.072  Better Pictures of vyce, teache mee virtue.
004.SN4.073  Hee like to a highe stretch'd lute string squeakt, %1Oh%2 %1S.%5r%6%2
004.SN4.074  Tis sweete to talke of Kinges. At [l.c.]westminster
004.SN4.075  (Sayde I) the Man that keepes the %1Abbey%2 Tomes
004.SN4.076  And for his price doth w%5th%6 whoeuer comes
004.SN4.077  Of all our %1Harryes%2, and our %1Edwards%2 talke
004.SN4.078  ffrom kynge, to kinge and all their kynne can walke,
004.SN4.079  Your eares shall heare noughte but kinge, yo.%5r%6 eyes meete
004.SN4.080  Kinges onlye, the way to it is kinges streete.
004.SN4.081  Hee smack'd, and cryde, hee's base, mecanique, coorse
004.SN4.082  Soe are all yo.%5r%6 Englishemen in their Discourse.
004.SN4.083  Are not yo.%5r%6 ffrench-men neate? Myne? as you see
004.SN4.084  I haue but one ffrenchman, looke hee followes mee
004.SN4.085  Certes they are neately cloth'd, I of this mynde am
004.SN4.086  Yo.%5r%6 only wearing is this Grogogram.
004.SN4.087  Not soe S.%5r%6, I haue more; vnder this pitche
004.SN4.088  Hee would not flye; I chaf'd him, but as ytche
004.SN4.089  Scratch'd into smarte, and as blunte Iron grownde
004.SN4.090  Into an edge hurtes worse; soe I ffoole, founde
004.SN4.091  Crossing hurte mee. To fitt my sullenesse
004.SN4.092  Hee to another key his style doth dresse. [CW:om]
004.SN4.093  And askes what Newes? I tell him of newe Playes. [f.5]
004.SN4.094  Hee takes my hande, and as a Styll w%5ch%6 stayes
004.SN4.095  A Sembreefe twixt eache dropp, hee nigardlye
004.SN4.096  As loath to enriche mee soe, tells many a lye.
004.SN4.097  More then ten %1Hollings-heads%2, and %1Halls%2, and %1Stowes%2
004.SN4.098  Of triuiall househol>%Vd< trashe, hee knowes, hee knowes
004.SN4.099  when the Queene smyld, or ffrown'd, and hee knowes what
004.SN4.100  A subtyle Courtyer may gather of that.
004.SN4.101  Hee knowes who loues whome, and who by poyson
004.SN4.102  Hastes to an Offices Reuersion.
004.SN4.103  Hee knowes who hath sold his Land, and nowe doth begg
004.SN4.104  A lycence, old Iron, bootes, or Egg=
004.SN4.105  Shells to transporte. Shortly boyes shall not play
004.SN4.106  At blowepoynte, or spanne-Counter, but they pay
004.SN4.107  Toll to some Courtyer. And wiser then all vs,
004.SN4.108  Hee knowes w%5ch%6 Ladye is not painted. Thus
004.SN4.109  Hee w%5th%6 home-meates tryes mee, I belche, spue, spitt,
004.SN4.110  Looke pale and sicklye like a Patient, yet
004.SN4.111  Hee thrustes more, and as if hee had vndertooke
004.SN4.112  To say %1Gallobelgicus%2 withoute booke,
004.SN4.113  Speakes of all States, and Deedes w%5ch%6 haue bin since
004.SN4.114  The %1Spanyard%2 came to the losse of %1Amyence%2.
004.SN4.115  Like a bigg wife at sighte of loathed meate
004.SN4.116  Ready to trauayle, soe I sighe and sweate [CW:om]
004.SN4.117  To heare this %1Maccaron%2 talke; In vayne, for yet [f.5v]
004.SN4.118  Either my humo.%5r%6 or his owne to fitt
004.SN4.119  Hee like a priuiledg'd Spye, whome nothing can
004.SN4.120  Discreditt, lybells nowe gainste eache greate Man
004.SN4.121  Hee names a pryce for euery Office payde,
004.SN4.122  Hee sayes our warres thriue ill because delayde,
004.SN4.123  That Offices are entayl'd, and that theare are
004.SN4.124  Perpetuityes of them lasting as farre
004.SN4.125  As the last day, And that greate Officers
004.SN4.126  Doe w%5th%6 the Pyrates share and Dunkyrkers
004.SN4.127  whoe wastes in meate, in Clothes, in horse, hee notes,
004.SN4.128  whoe loues whores, who Boyes, and whoe Goates.
004.SN4.129  I more amaz'd, then %1Circes%2 pris'ners, when
004.SN4.130  They felt them selues turne Beastes, felt myselfe then
004.SN4.131  Becom%Ming Traytor, and mee thoughte I sawe
004.SN4.132  One of our Gyante Statutes ope his Iawe
004.SN4.133  To sucke mee in for hearing him. I founde
004.SN4.134  That as burnd-venome=Letchers doe growe sounde
004.SN4.135  By giuinge others their soares, I mighte growe
004.SN4.136  Guilty and hee free, Thearfore I did shawe[sic]
004.SN4.137  All signes of loathing; but since I am in
004.SN4.138  I must pay myne, and my fforeffathers syn,
004.SN4.139  To the last farthing. Thearfore to my power
004.SN4.140  Toughlye and stouburnelye I beare this Crosse; but the hower [CW:om]
004.SN4.141  Of mercy nowe was com%Me. hee tryes to bringe [f.6]
004.SN4.142  Mee to pay a ffyne, to scape his torturinge.
004.SN4.143  And sayes S.%5r%6 can you spare mee? I sayde willingly,
004.SN4.144  Nay S.%5r%6 can you spare mee a Crowne? thanckfully, I
004.SN4.145  Gaue it as ransome; but as ffydlers still,
004.SN4.146  Thoughe they bee payde to bee gone, yet needes will
004.SN4.147  Thruste one more Iigg vppon you, soe did hee
004.SN4.148  W%5th%6 his longe Complementall thanckes, vexe mee.
004.SN4.149  But hee is gon%Me, thanckes to his needy wante,
004.SN4.150  And the prerogatiue of my Crowne; scant
004.SN4.151  His thanckes weare ended, when I w%5ch%6 did see
004.SN4.152  All the Courte fill'd w%5th%6 more straunge thinges then hee,
004.SN4.153  Ranne from thence w%5th%6 such, or more haste, then one
004.SN4.154  who feares more Actions, doth make from prisone.
004.SN4.155  At home in wholsome sollitarinesse,
004.SN4.156  My piteous Soule began the wretchednesse
004.SN4.157  Of Suitors at Courte to mourne, and a traunce
004.SN4.158  Like his, who dream't hee sawe %1Hell%2, did advaunce
004.SN4.159  Itselfe 'ore mee, and such men as hee sawe theare,
004.SN4.160  I sawe at Courte, and worse, and more; lowe ffeare
004.SN4.161  Becom%Mes the Guilty, not th' accuser; then
004.SN4.162  Shall I non's slaue, of highe borne, or rays'd men, [CW:om]
004.SN4.163  ffeare ffrownes, and my %1M.%5rss%6[sic] Truith%2, betray thee [f.6v]
004.SN4.164  To the huffing, braggard, puff't Nobilitee?
004.SN4.165  Noe Noe, Thou w%5ch%6 since yesterday hast beene
004.SN4.166  Almost aboute the worlde, hast thou seene
004.SN4.167  O Sunne in all thy iourney vanitye,
004.SN4.168  Such as swells the bladder of our Courte? I
004.SN4.169  Thincke hee w.%5ch%6 made yon Garden, and
004.SN4.170  Transported it from %1Italye%2, to stand
004.SN4.171  w.%5th%6 vs at %1London%2, floutes our Courte heere, for
004.SN4.172  Iust such gaye painted thinges, w%5ch%6 noe sapp, nor
004.SN4.173  Taste haue in them, ours are, and naturall.
004.SN4.174  Some of the Stockes are theare, fruites bastard all.
004.SN4.175  T'is ten a clocke and paste: all whome the Mewes,
004.SN4.176  Baloune, Tennys, Dyett, or the Stewes
004.SN4.177  Had all the morninge held, nowe the second
004.SN4.178  Tyme made ready that day, in flockes are founde
004.SN4.179  In the %1Presence%2: and I (God pardon mee)
004.SN4.180  As freshe and sweete th'apparrells bee, as bee
004.SN4.181  The ffeildes they sold to buye them, ffor a kinge
004.SN4.182  Those hose are cryes his fflatterers, and bringe
004.SN4.183  Them next weeke to the Theatre to sell.
004.SN4.184  Wantes reache all states; mee seemes they doe as well [CW:om]
004.SN4.185  At Stage, as Courte; all are Players; who'ere lookes [f.7]
004.SN4.186  (ffor themselues dare not goe,) o're Cheapsyde bookes,
004.SN4.187  Shall finde their wardropps Inventorie; nowe
004.SN4.188  The Ladyes com%Me, As Pyrates w%5ch%6 did knowe
004.SN4.189  That theare came weake Shippes fraughte w%5th%6 %1Cuchanell%2,
004.SN4.190  The Men boorde them; and prayse as they thincke well
004.SN4.191  Their beautyes, they the mens wittes, both are boughte.
004.SN4.192  Why good wittes ne're weare skarlett Gownes, I thoughte
004.SN4.193  This Cause; These men Mens wittes for speaches buye,
004.SN4.194  And Women buye all redds, w%5ch%6 skarlett dye.
004.SN4.195  Hee calls hir beauty lyme-twiggs, her hayre Nett
004.SN4.196  Shee feares hir drugges ill layde, hir hayre ill sett:
004.SN4.197  Would not %1Heraclitus%2 laughe to see %1Macrine%2,
004.SN4.198  ffrom hatt, to shooe, himselfe at doore refyne
004.SN4.199  As the %1Presence%2 weare a %1Meschite%2; and lifte
004.SN4.200  His skirtes and hose, and call his clothes to shrifte
004.SN4.201  Making them confesse not only mortall,
004.SN4.202  Greate staynes and holes in them, but veniall,
004.SN4.203  ffeathers, and Duste, w%5th%6 w.%5ch%6 they fornicate.
004.SN4.204  And then by %1Durers%2 rule%Y*%Z surveyes the state
004.SN4.205  Of his eache lym%Me, and w%5th%6 stringes the oddes tryes
004.SN4.206  Of his necke to his legg, and waste to thighes.
004.SN4.207  Soe in im%Maculate clothes and Sym%Mitrye,
004.SN4.208  Perfect as Circles, w%5th%6 such nicetye [CW:om]
004.SN4.209  As a younge Preacher at his first tyme goes [f.7v]
004.SN4.210  To preache, hee enters, and a Ladye w.%5ch%6 owes
004.SN4.211  Him not soe much as good will, streighte arestes,
004.SN4.212  And vnto hir protestes, protestes, protestes,
004.SN4.213  Soe much, as at %1Rome%2 would serue t'haue throwne
004.SN4.214  Ten %1Cardinalls%2 into the %1Inquisition%2;
004.SN4.215  And whisper'd by %1Iesu%2 soe often, that %Y*%Z a

004.SN4.217  ffor sayeng our %1Ladyes Psalter%2; but 'tis fitt
004.SN4.218  That they eache other plague, they meritt it.
004.SN4.219  But heere comes %1Glorius%2 that will plague them both,
004.SN4.220  [%1canceled_false_start%2]/ who in th'other extreame only doth
004.SN4.221  Call a roughe Carelessnes, good ffashion,
004.SN4.222  whose Cloke his spurres teare, whome hee spitts on
004.SN4.223  Hee cares not, his ill wordes doe noe harme
004.SN4.224  To him, hee rusheth in, as if arme, arme,
004.SN4.225  Hee came to cry; and thoughe his fface bee as ill
004.SN4.226  As theirs w.%5ch%6 in old hangings whipp Christe, still
004.SN4.227  Hee striues to looke worse, hee keepes all in awe,
004.SN4.228  Ieasts like a lycenc'd ffoole, com%Maunds like lawe.
004.SN4.229  Tyr'd nowe I leaue this place, and but pleas'd soe,
004.SN4.230  As Men w%5ch%6 from Iayles to Execution goe. [CW:om]
004.SN4.231  Goe throughe the %1Greate Chamber%2 (why is it hunge [f.8]
004.SN4.232  w%5th%6 the seven deadly syn%Ms,) beinge amonge
004.SN4.233  Those %1Ascaparts%2, Men bigg enoughe to throwe

004.SN4.235  Noe token of worthe but %1Queenes Man%2, %1and Fyne%2;
004.SN4.236  Living Barrells of Beefe, fflaggons of wyne.
004.SN4.237  I shooke like a spyde %1Spye%2; Preachers w.%5ch%6 are
004.SN4.238  Seas of witt, and Arte, you can, then dare
004.SN4.239  Drowne the syns of this place; for, for me
004.SN4.240  who am a scant Brooke, it enoughe shalbe
004.SN4.241  To washe their staynes away; thoughe I yet
