of Scriptures such whereby the Lorde we knowe They framde his steps to vertues trace they learnde him how to knit The perfect webbe of heauenly grace they rulde him with a bit They made him to suppresse desire his tongue they sought to iame Bicause of little sparked of fyre procéedeth forth a flame They kept with rod of wisedoms schoole his childhoode in such awe That carnall blindnesse waxed toole so well he knewe the lawe They did discharge their dueties right they let him not to stray But causde him with an humble spright to wander day by day His othes were nay his swearing yée adherent to the worde His dealing was from craft full frée as scriptures doe accorde Demost Why then by this you séeme to proue faultlesse the childe to bée Science Not so but fansie did mée moue both faultes to let thée sée For if the Colt might séeme to raunge and neuer to be broken The Bit and Brydle would be straunge this is a certaine token And therefore since that euerie man is faultie thinke no lesse But that the childe doe what he can is but a sinfull gesse Omni morbo paratur medicina Yet if the wounde were nere so sore a salue is to be founde Which though it fester more and more at last will make it sounde But where as suffrance séemes to raigne all for a little ease Their straight insueth grieuous paine the former griefe to pease As proufe by this we haue in hande thy fansie to suffise Where parentes will not vnderstande their childrens wicked guise But if they once begin to growe in rypenesse of their sinne Though they their wicked haūt do know they maintaine them therein That rype soone rotten when they bée then fadeth duetie due So that their folly as ye sée doth cause themselues to rue And therefore should they put in vre the wisemans saying mylde So long as breath doth lyfe procure let chastment rule the childe For duetie slips a good cause why the parentes make and marre Soe that this vertue certainely must néedes be absent farre Thus what by Tutours fondnesse blinde and nature of the sprigge The humble braunches starke I finde vnplyant is the twigge Therefore this daintie for a dish of right thou mayst prepare For which a man maye often wish but is reperted rare As much to saye obedience flame and inward heat is colde So that an humble chylde by name no man can once beholde For fansie leades their thoughtes astray and wilfull will is bent The righteous children for to play with prodigall assent That is as long as any note of vertue doth remayne They lashe and lauish all a flote till it be gon agayne The path that Ioseph walked in is not for them to walke For why their vertues verie thinne are faded to the stalke Abromnicio pleades their case with sanguine sworde in hand A Iustice diet in common place all goodnesse to withstand Thus pilgrime like their race they runne to no good point at all But as the Wax against the Sunne doth melt away they fall That seldome sure or not at all an humble childe to finde A man may trauaile where he shall let this content thy minde And serue this for a second messe which I to thée assigne Bicause thou dost pretend as gesse to feast the Muses nine Demost What ioyes vnto my breast aspire what gladnesse nowe doth raigne Hir speach hath set my heart one fyre hir talke hath ridde my payne A daintie dishe it is in déede a seruice harde to sée Where as the childe doth render méede with lowly bended knée Vnto his auncient fathers head where siluer haires doe growe For children nowe are better fedde than taught fulwell I knowe Doth not experience flac define the Nurse constraynd to bowe Vnto hir Cradell oftentime Which right doth not alowe Yes right is wrong and wrong is right vnkindnesse cloake is kind The light is darke and darkenesse light the eyes that sée be blind Thus daintie twayne I haue but yet the thirde is to be sought Which if that I coulde séeme to get full soone it shoulde be bought Chastitie Neyther can Golde attaine the same but serious payne and royle Nor princely money beare the name without a feruent broyle For coyne herein doth naught preuaile I meane in wisedomes lore The scaling of the walles t'assaile where Science kéepes the dore And therefore since as Authors olde when they prepare to write Their learned Tables doe vnfolde whereby they should indite Not otherwise by course I will if thou with héed attend Indeuour with a simple skill the thirde dish for to ende I mase and muse in what degrée as trustie wyfes doe stande For well I spie and plainely sée few faithfull in the lande They loue a whyle the prouerbe olde to them may be replyed Theyr loue so whot is quickly colde it can not be denyed Where resteth faithfull Sara now where is Rebecca pure Whose bended knées full ofte did bowe hir husbands griefe to cure Where is Ioachims faithfull wyfe Susanna calde by name Of whome dame vertues braunches ryfe did worke a worthy fame First Saraes purpose and intent to God was to accorde And secondly with one assent to please hir faithfull Lorde Rebecca sought by charie charge hir husbande 's quiet ease And wrought all meanes for to inlarge a salue his yre to pease Susannaes care was firmely cast hir chasted vowe to kéepe Despising euerie carnall blast that luld the soule a sléepe For when the elders did conspire their pleasure blynde to haue By filthy lust of fleshly fire which made them so to raue That proching me hir hathing place vnto hir they did runne With flattering style and craftie face their purpose to haue done The beames of grace did so inspire hir worthy chasted minde That crackling sparkes of fonde desire hir soule coulde neuer blinde She rather chused for to dye to please their sinfull lust Than to consent most toruedly to breake hir promise iust Loe here the fruite of faithfull state loe here both trust and hope Loe here dame vertue with hir mate doth séeme to tende hir scope Doth present time the lyke declare are women now so true Vnto their faith to haue a care and eke their dutie due Nay faith is fledde nay faith is dead nay faith is layed full lowe For euery wight with vrgent spight giues fayth the ouerthrowe Nowe Venus doth hir banquets make and lust with painted booke Proceeds herein the paynes to take hir darlings names to looke Then first approcheth to his hande the marryed femall knot And nigh to hir there séemes to stande the Maidens crazed pot So that as guider of this ray the harlot Pride is chiéfe And Venus as a rector stay doth ayde them with reliefe Then Cupid with his bended Bowe dischargeth forth his dart Vpon those vessels weake and lowe that taketh Venus part Thus wyfes doe raunge in wofull sort thus snarring they doe iarre In leauing of their Thalame sport to hunt

For dutie due is fledde away and humblenesse is gon And true obedience at this day is colder than the stone Vnbrideled youth hath no delite dame Vertue to imbrace But still indeuour with their might hir braunches to deface Goe vewe abroad in euerie coast and séeme a childe to traine In Godly lyfe and all is lost within a yeare or twaine As Ploughmen rude they doe prepare king Neroes séede to sowe Whose deuslish fansie had the care his mothers wombe to know And trayned hir euen as the shéepe are trayned to their bayne Who falling in a slombring sléepe with bloudie knyfe was slayne For Nero slit hir secret wombe to sée if he coulde spie The tender cell or chatrie Tombe where he was wont to lye Such small regarde had he vnto his tender mothers breast That beastly nature made him doe the thing she doubted least Euen lyke I say at present stint the worlde is neuer other So that the childrens breast as flint is stonie to the mother For when the parents taking paine at last doe waxe full olde The children wish to haue them slayne that they might haue their Golde Now plaine deceit hath chose a seate now falshoode rules the lande Nowe loue is colde now children threat their parents to withstande How manie buddes of humaine séede howe manie sonnes remaine That will about their fayres procéede to cause their fathers gayne Nay euery man is fully bent his propper Chestes to fill So that they care not with assent if that their father spill Where spring the braunches of the trée where Isaac was the roote Where shall you finde a simile to set by him his foote If any aunswere in this case then nusquàm he must say For well I knowe that Phoebus face doth foster none to day For plyant was he at a becke and readie at a call To take a Faggot one his necke to sacrifice withall And when as Abraham did declare howe Isaac néedes must die Most willingly he did prepare and woulde hint not denie But paciently he toke the crosse and knéeled on his knée Beleuing that this mortall losse was but a fonde decrée What children nowe woulde pleased bée if this you should request Or who would yéelde so quietly to graunt to your behest They be not borne nor lyue by breade throughout the worlde I sée That couet rather to be dead than leaue this worldly glée Then farther to the whole effect and search the pithie style And tell mée if you doe respect what newes within a whyle He was obedient in so much his parents did him showe The doctrine pure
