And Cupid shootes his shafts too fast The onely grace of earthly powre That was or is and so shall last The meane to make meane men to mount Yet court of no man makes account The path to hit prefarments right But when or how good hap must shoe The torch that giues a flattring light A blaze that quickly out will goe The candle cleere of comforts all Yet downe vntoucht the snuffe will fall The feeding hope of all good hap Till want coms home with weeping eie The smiling cloud where thunder clap Fals ratling from a pleasant skie The calmy aire that stormes doth hide Till winde bewraies a blustring tide The platform where all Poets thriue Saue one whose voice is hoarse they say The stage where time away we driue As children in a pagent play To please the lookers on somtime With words with bookes in prose or rime The mount where might and mercy dwels The one may kill the other saue The spring that maintains many wels Where thirsty throtes do water craue The nurse that milke and pap may giue To those that in great lack doth liue The ciuill sword of worldly sway That cuts off many a canker cleane The head that secrets can bewray And teach rash wits to keepe a meane The eie that sees both hie and loe Much further than our feete can goe The ground where plenty planted was VVhen bounties blossoms brought foorth frute Then gold was but esteemd as glas The prince so freely gaue a sute The onely spring and flowing spout VVhere all good turnes came flowing out The royall house of all repaire VVhere subiects swarme and still do run As thick as flies flocks to the aire In sommers day when shines the sun The paradise of earthly show VVhere many goodly frutes do grow The way to toull men on to spend As profit straight should rise thereon The ready rule to giue or lend Play best be trust till all be gon The place where promis is forgote Or where faire words make fooles to dote The ankor hold we trust vnto If cord and cable do not breake The gallant ship that may vndo VVith charge most men whose purse is weake The quiet port when tide coms in For all bare barks that harbor win The swelling sea where some do sinke That waues and surges swallow vp The doubtfull banket where some drinke Their bane out of a spiced cup The stage where many a part is plaid That makes some lookers on afraid The costly sumptuous golden hall That eats vp many a thatched hiue The bulwarke and the brazen wall Against whose state no force dare striue The stay and prop to weakest things And vnto man most comfort brings The flowre and blossom of each land That yeelds sweet sent like mirr or balme VVhich doth not on base fortune stand But safe in either storme or calme O God that guides each fortune now Preserue our court and kingdom throw FINIS COurt cannot pleas ech one that still doth craue No more than seas can make all sailers ritch Though few thereby do gaine yet some may saue And keepe a meane if folly be not mitch There foode is free and all belongs to health Fire rest and ease and pleasures of the eie Then for those ioies who bids them spend their welth Or follow gaine or waste their goods thereby If in one cloke or sute a Lordship stands Blame not the court but blame vnthrifty hands Though shining robes becoms a Courtier well Meane men may weare good garments of small price If waste will needes his patrimony sell Or play away his lands at cards and dice Court is not cause of that expence and charge No more than plow and carts makes Farmars poore If gallants gay cuts their owne clokes too large That they like brooms sweepe rushes from the doore Short capes in Court were fitter for a shoe In such light weeds of yore did Courtiers goe If men could sort themselues in Court aright The good may meete as good as he therein And stately Court hates all lewd maners light No coosning knack can there no fauour win Finenes and fraud are often frownd at thear Dissemblance shames to show a double face And though good wits in Court can speake full fear Rip iudgement soone finds out a courtly grace And will not be ore reacht with shoe or signe Of wily heads though they be ner so fine Court is a well and fountaine full of springs That runs to those that watch their seasons due Who to the cock their empty bucket brings When bounties streames spouts water fresh and new All cannot thriue that daily sell and by Some merchant prooues bankrout ere he be ware All shafts will not against ill weather flie They hit the marke that cunning archers are Court is not bound to pleasure eury one Court is a king and subiect vnto none If fauorits rise dame Fortunes babes they bee Begot and bred by sudden destnies lot Lads that good hap hath dandled on hir knee Tooke all their pap out of the sweete creame pot The rest are faire yoong children borne to soone Or out of time as many yoonglings bee No Planets birds nor darlings of the Moone Nor fixed stars that stands in highst degree But retrograde in some aspects but base Falne fro the clouds from Iupiters good grace Though many names to court these Poets giues Whose fained Art are full of fables vaine When they themselues by gifts of Princes liues And by the Court their betters far do gaine Court cares not for their stretched termes nor muse That in a moode finds fault with this or that Whose hie conceits doth out their pen abuse Which on the spleen may write they know not what Court thinks great scorne to stoup or seem so weake As answer make to any word they speake FINIS THe wars that marshall men do like For countries cause was first begun To shield and sword to launce and pike The lusty soldiers then would run And glad was he in towne or field Could force a forren foe to yeeld No walls nor rampire could hold out A lions hart in manly minde Men did in courage grow so stout They traueld far hot wars to finde And when these men abrode did rome They brought great skill and knowledge home Kings gaue them grace and honor great Fame sounded trumpet in their praise VVorld placst them in the highest seate So that like gods they raignd those daise Yea honord made of and extold Aboue the woorth of pearle or gold By them great empires did encrease Kingdoms were woon and conquerd all They held vp wars they made the peace They had the world at becke and call The sword subdues and makes them slaues That stands vpon their greatest braues Long in this course did soldiers liue Beloud and feard as victors are They felt no want but had to giue The people tooke of them such care Kings and their treasure eury way Kept noble soldiers from decay But when
