Blush then thou gracelesse Epigrammatist That troubled art in troubling other men To make thy glorie in their shame consist Disquieting with thy grace-tempting pen Whom great Iehouah crownes with lawrell peace As heires apparant vnto happinesse O who should then so mis-employ his wit To plod and plot against his natiue soyle And cloak'd with zeale to play the Iesuite Seeking a Trophee of his Countries spoile Which spite of spites still like mount Sion stands In gowned peace clapping her happy hands No land for peace no peace for happinesse Excelleth so but ours it equall will No hap for ioy nor ioy for pleasantnesse Will equall ours it so excelleth still Such peace such happe such ioy such pleasures slow As passeth speach and poseth wit to show Our gracious Prince with peace our lawes protects Our lawes protected make good gouernment Good gouernment our peace with lawes directs Our peace directed maketh sweet content Our sweet content thou seeking to preuent Hat'st Prince peace lawes and all good gouernment Shamelesse of shame how darest thou attempt To plucke the plume of Englands happinesse And broach the malice of thy base contempt In ciuill iarres bred by vnciuilnesse Woe worthy thou that seek'st to dispossesse The blessed state of reall blessednesse I will not soothe our land in sinfulnesse No God forbid nay God forbid the same It is polluted with all wickednesse And vice deserues to be combe-cut with blame But not reuiled with vpbraiding speach Malignantly mens credit to impeach You kept such reuell with your carelesse pen As made me thinke you of the Innes of Court For they vse Reuels more then any men So what you doe in any euill sort You may defend it and buyld herevpon That you were taught by reuelation Goe to goe to y' ar odde companions Mistake not odde ye deale vnfriendly then This odde makes euen your commendations For still odde fellowes are the wisest men My reason mounts aboue a likelyhood Because the 7. wise men of Greece were odde You say our Land is giuen to gluttony Epicurizing with such sumptuous fare As breeds a surfet of Intemperancy But in this case you much deceyued are For each rich glutton that too much doth eate There 's ten poore beggers starue for wāt of meat So if you speake it vniuersally Of this our Land your speach is most vntrew For go ye to the Vniuersitie And you shall there no sumptuous Cōmons view What said I None Yes yes the truth to touch Their fare is sumptuous for it costs them much I will not tell you though their meales be small How they haue certaine beuers that they hunt Which stead of venison doth serue them all Cause I imagine that you know their woont But they in wisdome knowe what best befits Sith loaden bellies make but leaden wits But for the vulgar let them freely eate Because most of them we most gracelesse see And neuer to haue grace but at their meate And therefore then best occupied bee For though the most of them be rude and base Come they to meate they 'l eate ye with a grace Much paines you take in handling Lecherie Lauishing out such vilde lasciuious speach As would inuite one vnto Venerie Disclosing things that neuer Bawd could teach I cannot I expresse them nor I will Sith bawdy words must be subaudi still If chaunce a woman smyles in company She must be light forsooth and loosely liue If frowne she hypocryes her luxury And lists to take that others lusts to giue If neyther then she seemes an Innocent And may the sooner any way be bent But women take him for a simple Gull That calls a gallant Loue-alluring Dame A common queane when she 's a proper Trull And sayes she 's paynted when she blusht for shame Nay men for painting we may more condemne For they are painted euery day by them But I 'm ashamed that ye are not asham'd To craze the credit of your owne good name And by defaming others be defam'd Sith losse of life is lesse then losse of fame How can ye then strayne curt'sie to confesse Your shamefull fault of shamelesse faultinesse O could ye looke with an vnpartiall eye Vpon the fault of your offensiue speach And by the Iury of your conscience trye The iniury that ye haue done to each The world might then by your confession know What shame will now by your confusion show Ye may be taken and I feare ye will For Seminaries of seditious strife Who through deuotion seeke diuision still And the ●ubuersion of our quiet life Fie doe not thinke the Pope can pardon this Man cannot license men to doe amisse Doe not denie that ye such persons bee Men know back-biters as they horses know Both by their mouthes your marke is yet to see Imprinted so as few but can it show But learne ye this a slaunderer at one time Iniuries three persons by his hatefull crime Himselfe that speakes it payring his good name For he is after noted for a knaue Him that he speakes it of by his defame For he shall causelesse ill opinion haue Him that he speakes it to deceiued so For he takes it for trueth and tels it to A flatterer whose supple-tongued talke Soothes all in speach but neuer speakes in sooth Yet of the two a better way doth walke And shewes no malice as the slaunderer doth Who spits the poyson of his spightful hart The other doth but wagge his tongue by Art Nature hath parkt within an Iuory pale The toung of man for feare lest it should stray And made a goodly Lodge full round and tall Wherein the Keeper Reason watch it may Who when it is about to faune should see It range not out and so miscarried bee If then the tongue for feare of flatterie Seemes to require such circumspect regard Doubtles for slaunderous make-bate mockery Reason had need keepe daily watch and ward Lest it should breake out as it oft doth proue From bounds of reason or from bounds of loue The ancient Greekes did not for nought adore Harpocrates goddesse of silence so Whose finger on her lips lay euermore The Romanes had their Angerona too No idle Idole as they did suppose But such as shew'd that they should nought disclose For let 's obserue the tongue in parts of man Of softest slippery substance doth consist And therefore by the nimble nature can Giue him the slip ere his discretion wist Ye be examples though ye be but bad Yours slipt away with all the wit ye had Bid god be with it and so let it goe The losse will neuer hinder you so much Because the profit benefits no moe The barenesse and the barrennesse is such But what car'd ye such profit for to raise So ye might suck the honie-sweete of prayse But he doth ill if ye consider it That prostitutes before each carelesse eye The naked beggery of a thred-bare wit To get an almes of commendations by For each should earne the price of praise
