good They first must pray so vndeserued gold Ill got we waste and haue no power to hold● Then they proceed to words from words to blowes The way to ill is easie but who knowes The Clue that we returne by hence proceeds A Challenge from wrong'd Wharton Steward needs No such stale prouocation Mischiefes feet Are swift to blood their quicke desires soon meet And met soone fight bold Steward falls by Fate Wharton by Chance those powers each other hate So I haue seene from th' Indies East and West Two Ships well rigg'd and mann'd vpon the brest Of Thetis d●ncing spreading flags abroad For ioy of their long-wisht-for English roade Past now all dangerous Ro●ks● Gulphs Pyrats Sand Ready t'vnlade their rich fraught on firme land And tell the story of their perils past And frolicke with glad friends in peace at last When spying each other so bedeckt adorn'd With outward pomp ones pride the other scorn'd And from that enuious scorn some word proceeding And from that word some blow from that blow bleeding Then giuing way to fury all inrag'd Both are in desp'rate tearmes of fight ingag'd The fire in water Lead in th' ayre their center Doe madly seeke and both these r●dely enter The strong ships wombe and ransac●e euery hold For pretious life neglecting Indi●n gold The shot seems thunder but the dying grones Of slaughtered soules shrike louder deeper tones Then roring Cannons whose thicke charging rout Le ts water freely in and poures bloud out In this hot fight both firmly doe defend Both nimbly do assault both madly spend Strength skill and all to hurt Conquest inclines To neither part as partiall Equall lines Are drawne betwixt them both by Fate and Chance Till th' one his topsaile fairely doth aduance To win the winde and in that vantage flies With force and fury on his foe who plies All meanes to salue this losse and to regaine Faire ods or equall standing once againe But all in vaine fortune the winde and sea Con●ederate with the aduerse seeme to be So this to sinke rather then yeeld resolues And halfe his tatter'd sides the Sea inuolues When th' other couetous grapples with his foe To bourd and rob him and being chained so The s●ip that leaks sinks and with his weight drawes The Conqueror with Conquest to deaths iawes So fares it with these noble Combatants Both equally of blood and honor vaunts Both enui'd and belou'd alike both friends Both yong both valiant and their life and ends So paralell and twin-like like in all That they obtain'd one graue one ●unerall One graue one funerall they obtain'd yet lost The ●ame and honor their youth thirsted most Because their quarrell on false grounds begun Could not produce true praise nor true blame shun The wounds thou gau'st stout Wharto● had bin good Against thy Kings or faiths foe and thy blood Heroicke Steward had been nobly shed Against such slaues so both had brauely bled And your brasse Monuments had spoke the fame Of Whartons noble Stewards royall name Then the fierce challenger for his quicke charge And stout assault with wounds giuen deepe and large His apt command of euery part soone shunning All wounds saue one giuen more by chance then cunning And the Defendant who so long time stood Drownd yet vndanted in his owne life blood And deadly wounded past all hope of liuing Death in his death to his haile fooeman giuing Had filld the largest leaues of Fames faire story And both worne wreath of triumph conquest glory● And then like patterns ●o both Realms set out By vertue for example the wise and stout Had been your schollers and their lessons read In those greene fields where both so boldly bled Bnt now aye me as rocks bars sands at sea Or marks set vp to shew ships where they bee Or rather as some wrack'd ships selfe whose mast Ore-looks the waues and yet still sticking fast In th' eating silt bids the wise Pilot flye The tracklesse path where such hid dangers lye So stand these two the signes of woe and ruth Of shipwrackt honor fortune valour youth And by their deaths confirme this speech for good Vertue hath greater priuiledge then blood Our soules are Gods our bodies are the Kings And he that in his priuate quarrell brings Either of these in question doth betray The Kings part and giues Gods part cleane away England behold in Wharton what thou art And Scotland see in Steward euery part Of thy best power shun enmitie and strife None but your selues haue power of eithers life Let no slight toyes the snares and traines of hell Breed war betwixt you two but kindly dwell Within this I le as in one house the rather Being thereto wooed by

that it is question●d ' mongst the wise Which now is vertue and which now is vice Two Croo●backs not the third Dick Gloster hight We will haue none of him for he would fight Debate this question each

with him so 't was agreed To beare him company Well mote they speed The Man a saddle sets vpon his backe A hal●er on his head which wit doth lacke What meane you master quoth the simple Asse These will but make me weary as I passe Foole quoth the Man thinke you I le haue my Page● Not suited to the fashions of this age I should be sham'd to s●e you neere me stand Without a cloake and bout your neck a band Proud was the silly Asse to heare he stood So high in fauour and doth onward skud With willing pace not like a sleepy snaile But tossing of his eares winching his taile Long trauailde they till to a brook they came Wherein a many siluer fishes swam A bridge was n●●re but Man withheld his eye And would not see the bridge some reason why The Asse went through the water quoth he then All beasts are far more happier than all Men. You are by nature safely cloth'd and armde Gainst cold heat drought and wet we easly harmde With any small annoyance You are free And gainst all these extreames must patient be The Asse being prais'd vpon no ground stood still But must turne backe againe to shew his skill To boast his valour let his Master know All his good parts and s●ruices arow Now sir quoth he you on my backe I 'le beare Safe o're this water● G●t vp nothing fear● The Man leapt lightly vp Dissimulation Doth neither stirrup n●●d nor great perswasion The Asse doth quickly passe the Ri●er Then He stayes and prayes him light No

O Master quoth the Ass●● you promisde meat You● cou●nant giues no liberty to b●at ●oole quoth the Man the word expresly meant Wages for worke impli●s a punishm●nt For sluggishnesse and sloth make haste away Our busin●sse and the time permits no stay So on they goe till the Asse now almost tyred Askt pitty of the Man and ease desired Th●t the would daigne a little while to light The Man denide it and then laught out-right And doubled blowes with whip with heele staffe O tyrant quoth the Asse dost fight and laugh Are these th' effects of promises and words Is this the peace your law bond faith affords Keep you your couenants thus O man thinke how You make vs traytors when you breake your vow Why quoth the Man my couenants are vnbroke I haue performde whatsere I wrote or spoke I giue you meat my meaning likevvise vvas To giue you blovves if that you plaide the Asse I was to haue your ex●rem●nts and sweat I cannot haue those but by vvorke and heat Therefore I ride you You were to attend In all my iourneyes on me like a friend And vvhat is liker to a friend I pray Then a mans drudge that toyles both night day That carries him through thicke and thin vvith paine And a sure stud for all turnes doth remaine● O quoth the Ass● the vvorld vvas neuer good Since other on mentall reseruation stood I only vvas to beare you company True quoth the Man to beare that 's carry me O damn'd equiuocation vvho at first quoth the poore Asse this double Doctrine nurst No Merchant Tradesman Lavvyer nor Diuine Though much frō truth they warp frō grace decline Could be the a●thors of this ample euill But truthes professed foe that i●gling deuill That Diuell who taught it first and practiz'd too In paridise vnto our generall woe That Diuell which doth renue in euery age By this alone his kingdome and image For without this his kingdome would decay And without this his image weare away This onely murthers truth opposeth faith Deceiuing whether true or false it saith If true we dare not trust it fearing ill If false like truth it looks and tempts vs will Quoth Man thou preachest well and well mightst passe Couldst thou speake Latin too to say a Masse Thy folly was in fault rashly to draw Thy articles without aduice at law There wanted stops pricks letters here and there And by your leaue some words the truth to cleere Nay quoth the Asse had euery word stop letter Been left vnwritten my estate were better This is the plague when power expoundeth lawes Not as the truth requires but as the cause When euery letter may an error breed To helpe the rich and begger such as need When tyrants do capitulate and treat Not to conclude but to deceiue and cheat When your false minds are candi'de ore with words As your gay sheathes conceale your bloody swords Now quoth the Man I thinke that Balaams Asse Or golden Apuly's thy Tutor was Thou art so eloquent so learned witty As if thou hadst been taught in Athens Citty In Athens quoth the Asse now I espie You speake no truth but when yee thinke to lie I was a Cockny once of noble blood Traind vp in Athens Court and in the flood of pleasure bathde my youth but not in Art Which causde this transformation teares and smart Yet went our Master and was well allowde● With many of my kin in that thicke crowde When Philip did so learnedly dispute And made Demost ●enes with wonder mute I was in fauour then and then did passe For braue and wise though now I be an Asse For no Man ought to iudge by forme or face By fauour or imployment or by place Which are the wise and foolish Dunces oft ●Passe by great doctors Baboones leap aloft And they may proue like me li●e to be switcht If they my fortune meet to be bewitcht How I bewitched was you now shall heare There is no true accomplisht Caualere That hath not trauailde And the'rs few of these Which scape bewitching passing ouer Seas When I first trauail'd my braue Spirit did moue T' attempt great Ladies and to purchace loue I purcha'st loue so long till all I had Was purcha'st from me and my selfe full glad To leaue both Court and Citie and to try A better Country fortune to espie With much much toyle and many courtly shifts At length I did arriue mongst craggy clifts And barraine rocks t' a smoaky house which stood Alone besides a fearefull desart wood There with a wither'd witch I long time staid A Bel-dame that had been Mede●es maid She turn'd me to an Asse that very day Th' Odcombian wit did odly scape away He may his good shooes praise pray for his heeles By those he scap't And yet I feare he feeles His braine was turning if he euer passe That way againe he will turne perfect Asse And so will many more as well as I Except they stop their eares as they passe by No quoth the Man this is a pretty fable Fitting the end so neere vnto the stable I le now alight we two are perfect friends My iourney and thy
