005.C09.HE1  Satyre. 5.
005.C09.001  Thou shalt not laugh in this leafe, Muse, nor they
005.C09.002  whom any pitty warmes; Hee which did lay
005.C09.003  Rules to make Courtiers (hee being vnderstood
005.C09.004  May make Good Courtiers, but who Courtiers Good?)
005.C09.005  Frees from the sting of iests all who in extreme
005.C09.006  Are wretched or wicked. Of these two a theame
005.C09.007  Charity & Libertye giue me. What is hee
005.C09.008  Who officers rage, & suitors miserye
005.C09.009  Can write & ieast? [lc]if all thinges be in all
005.C09.010  (As, I thinke, since all which were are & shall
005.C09.011  Be, be made of the same Elements
005.C09.012  Each thinge each thinge implyes or represents)
005.C09.013  Then man is a world in which officers
005.C09.014  Are the vast rauenous Seas, & Sutors
005.C09.015  Springes, now full now shallow now dry, which to
005.C09.016  That which drownes them runne. These selfe reasons doe
005.C09.017  Proue the world a Man, in which Officers
005.C09.018  Are the deuouring stomacks, & Suitors
005.C09.019  The excrement which they voyd. All men are dust
005.C09.020  How much more are Suitors that to mens lust
005.C09.021  Are made prayes? Oh worse then dust or wormes meate,
005.C09.022  For they eate you, now, whose selues wormes shall eate.
005.C09.023  They are the Mills w%5ch%6 grind you, & you are
005.C09.024  The wind which driues them: & a wastfull warre
005.C09.025  Is fought against you, & you fight it. They
005.C09.026  Adulterate Law & you p%5r%6pare the way
005.C09.027  Like wittalls. Th'issue your owne ruine is.
005.C09.028  Greatest & fayrest Empresse, know you this? [CW:om]
005.C09.029  Alas no more then Thames calme head doth know [f.20v]
005.C09.030  Whose meads her arme drownes, or whose corne ore'flow.
005.C09.031  You, S%5r%6, whose righteousnes she loues, whom I
005.C09.032  By hauing leaue to serue, am most richly
005.C09.033  For seruice pay'd, authoriz'>%Ye%Z<d, now begin
005.C09.034  To know & weed out this Enormious[sic] Sin.
005.C09.035  O%C age of rusty iron (some better witt
005.C09.036  Call it some worse name, if ought equall it).
005.C09.037  The Iron age, when Iustice was sold (now
005.C09.038  Iniustice is sold dearer) did allow
005.C09.039  All claym'd fees & dutyes. Gamsters, anon
005.C09.040  The money which you sweare & sweate for's gon
005.C09.041  Into other handes. So controuerted Lands
005.C09.042  Scape, like Angelica, the striuers hands.
005.C09.043  If law be in the Iudges heart, & hee
005.C09.044  Haue no heart to resist Letter or fee,
005.C09.045  Where wilt thou appeale? [lc]power of y%5e%6 Courts below
005.C09.046  Flowes from the first mayne head, & those can throw
005.C09.047  Thee, if they suck thee, into misery
005.C09.048  To fetters, halters. But if th'Iniurye
005.C09.049  Steele thee to dare complaine, alas thou go'st
005.C09.050  Against the streame when vpwards; when thou art most
005.C09.051  heauy & faint, & in those labours, They
005.C09.052  'Gainst whom thou shouldst complaine, will in thy way
005.C09.053  Become great Seas, or'e w%5ch%6 when y%5u%6 shalt be
005.C09.054  Forc'd to make golden bridges, thou shalt see
005.C09.055  That all thy gold was drownd in them before.
005.C09.056  All thinges follow their like, who haue may haue more. [CW:>>Iudges<<]
005.C09.057  Iudges are Gods, He who made & stil'd them soe [f.21r]
005.C09.058  Ment not men should be forct to them to goe
005.C09.059  By meanes of Angells. When Supplications
005.C09.060  We send to God, To dominations,
005.C09.061  Powers, Cherubins, & all heauens Courts if we
005.C09.062  Should pay fees, as heere, dayly bread would be
005.C09.063  Scarce to kinges. So tis. Would it not anger
005.C09.064  A stoicke, a Coward, yea a Martyr
005.C09.065  To see a Pursevant come in, & call
005.C09.066  All his copes, clothes & bookes, prim%Mers, & all
005.C09.067  His plate, chalices, & mis-take them away
005.C09.068  And aske a fee for com%Ming? O%C ne're may
005.C09.069  Faire Lawes white reuerend name be strumpetted
005.C09.070  To warrant thefts. She is established,
005.C09.071  Recorder to Destiny on Earth, & shee
005.C09.072  Speaks fates wordes, & but tells vs who must be
005.C09.073  Rich, who poore, who in chayres, & who in Iayles.
005.C09.074  Shee is all faire, but yet hath foule long nayles
005.C09.075  With which she scratcheth Suitors. As in bodyes
005.C09.076  of men, so in Law, nayles are th'extremities
005.C09.077  So officers stretch to more then Law can doe
005.C09.078  As our nayles reach what no else part comes to.
005.C09.079  Why bar'st thou to yond officer, foole? hath hee
005.C09.080  Gott those goods for which earst men bar'd to thee?
005.C09.081  Foole twice thrice, th'hast bought wrong, now hungerly
005.C09.082  Begg'st right, but that dole comes not till these dye
005.C09.083  Thou %Jhadst%K[M:>had'st<] much, & Lawes Vrim & Thum%mim trye
005.C09.084  Thou wouldst for more, and, for all, hast paper
005.C09.085  Enough to cloath all the great Carricks pepper. [CW:om]
005.C09.086  Sell That, & by that thou shalt much more leese [f.21v]
005.C09.087  Then Ham%Mond if he sold his Antiquities.
005.C09.088  O%C wretch, y%5t%6 thy fortunes should morralize
005.C09.089  Esops fables, & make tales prophecyes
005.C09.090  Thou art that swim%Ming dogge whom shaddowes ledd
005.C09.091  Which diu'd neere drowning for what vanished.|
