heeles Haman was proud past reasons bounds or scope And his vainglory ended in a rope And his ten sounes in duty to obay Their father followed him the selfe same way Those men that harbour Pride within their brest Doe seldome end their daies in peace and rest But if they doe disgrace and shame withall Are the chiefe waiters on their funerall Where honor is with noble vertue mix'd It like a Rocke stands permanent and fix'd The snares of enuy or the traps of hate Could neuer nor shall euer hurt that state Like Adamant it doth beat backe the battry Of spitefull malice and deceiuing flattry For it with Pride can neuer be infected But humbly is supernally protected Such with their Kings shall euer be belou'd And like to fixed starres stand fast vnmou'd Those that are proud of beauty let them know Their Pride is but a fickle fading showe A smoake a bubble a time-tosted toy A Luna like sraile euer changing ioy For as a tide of flood slow'd to the height Do●h in a moment fall to ebbing straight So beauty when it is most faire and fine Like new pluck'd flowers doth presently decline That man or womans vertue doth excell If with their beauty chastity doth dwell But Pride of beauty is a marke most sure That th'owners of it vse it to procure The Paphian pastime and the Cyprian game The sports of Venus and the acts of shame To breede the heat of Cupids lustfull flame Oft beauty hath faire chastity displac'd But chastity hath beauty euer grac'd For 't is a Maxime those haue euer bin That are most faire without most fowle within Too oft hath beauty by disloyalty Branded it selfe with lasting infamy That one fraile creature nobly will descended Proud of her fairenes fowly hath offended And on her honse and kindred laid a blot That the dishonor ne're will be forgot But a faire feature vertuously nclin'd A beauteous outside and a pious mind Such are Gods Images Epitomies And Cabinets of heanens blest treasuries And therefore be thy feature faire or foule Let inward vertues beautifie the soule Pride of our strength shewes weaknesse in our wit Because the Chollicke or an Ague fit The tooth-ach or the pricking of a pin Oft lets the strength out and the weaknesse in The Tribe of Dans great glory * Sampsons strength By a weake woman was orethrowne at length And sure there 's many do themselues much wrong In being proud because they are made strong For a great number liuing now there are Can wrastle throw the sledge or pitch the barre That on their backs foure hūdred waight can bear And horse shooes with their fifts in sunder teare Yet neuer vse their strength in any thing To serue their God their country or their King But with outragious acts their liues pursue As if God gaue them strength but as their due As though they like the Gyants could remoue And hurle great mountaines at the head of Ioue Or like Gargantua or Polipheme Or Gogmagog their boystrous fancies dreame That they more wonders by thier strength can do Then Hercules could e're attaine vnto Let those Goliahs that in strength take pride Know that the Lord of Hostes doth them deride And what they are that proudly brag and swell Of strength let any man but note them well If hurt or sicknesse make their strength decay A man shall neuer see such Cowes as they Be'ng strong their minds on God they neuer set In weaknesse instly he doth them forget Strength thus like headstrong lades they do abuse it For want of Reasons bridle how to vse it Pride of our children's vaine our proper stem Must either dye from vs or we from them If our examples of the life we liue Inrich them not more then the gifts we giue If disobedient they despise mstruction And will peruersly runne into destruction Much better had it bin we had not bin Begetters of such Imps of shame and sinne Children no duty to such Parents owe Who suffer vice their youth to ouergrow Neglect to teach thy sonne in younger yeeres He shall reiect thee in thy hoary haires The way to make our children vs obay Is that our selues from God runne not astray Such measure to our maker as we mete T is just that such we from our children get Th' Apostle Paul exhorteth more and lesse To be all children in̄ maliciousnes That is to say as children harmeles be So we should from maliciousnes be free Thus Pride of birth apparell wealth strength state And Pride of humane wisedome God doth hate Of knowledge learning beauty children and The Pride of Princes fauour cannot stand And Pride in any thing shall euermore Be bar'd and shut from heau'ns Eternall doore For whosoeuer will beleeve and looke Shall find examples in the sacred booke That God hath euer'gainst the proud withstood And that a proud heart neuer came to good He saith Pride is* destruction and agen That Pride is* hatefull before God and men How Prides beginning is from God to fall And of all sinne is the* originall Who taketh hold on Pride in great affliction Shall be o'rethrowne fild with Gods malediction Pride was not made for man man hath no part In Pride for God abhorreth a proud heart And ' t is decreed by the Almighties doome That Pride vnto a fearefull fall shall come A person that is proud ne're pleas'd God yet For how can they please him whom they forget Yet as before I said againe I le say That Pride to such a height is growne this day That many a thousand thousand familie Wer 't not for Pride would begge or starue and dy And the most part of them are men of might Who in Prides quarrel will both speake and fight I therefore haue no hope to put her downe But Satyre-like to tell her of her owne There is another Pride which I must touch It is so bad so base so too too much Which is if any mans good fortune be To rise to Honorable dignitie Or through infirmity or wilfulnes Men fall vnhappily into distresse That Libellers doe spirt their wits like froth To raile at Honor and dishonor both These Mungrell whelpes are euer snarling still Hating mens goodnesse glorying in their ill Like bloud-hound Curs they daily hunt and sent And rime and Iigge on others detriment Supposing it a very vertuous thing To be an arrant Knaue in libelling Forsooth these Screech-owles would be cal'd the wits Whose flashes flye abroad by girds and fits Who doe their mangy Muses magnifie Making their sport of mens calamity But yet for all their hatefull hellish mirth They are the vilest cowards on the earth For there 's not one that doth a libell frame Dares for his eares subscribe to it his name T is a base bruitish pride to take a pen And libell on the miseries of men For why all men are mortall weake and fraile And all from what they should be fall and faile And
