002.C09.HE1  Satyres. [%1as section heading%2]
002.C09.001  S.%5r%6 Though (I thank god for it) I doe hate
002.C09.002  Perfectly all this towne, yet ther's one state
002.C09.003  In all ill thinges so excellently best
002.C09.004  That hate towards, That, breeds pitty to y%5e%6 rest.
002.C09.005  Though Poetry indeed be such a sinne
002.C09.006  As (I thinke), That, bringes dearth & spaniards in
002.C09.007  Though, like the pestilence, or old fashion'd Loue
002.C09.008  It riddingly catch men, & doth remoue
002.C09.009  Neuer, till it be staru'd out; yet their state
002.C09.010  Is poore, disarmd, like Papists, not worth Hate.|
002.C09.011  One (like a wretch y%5t56 at barre iudg'd as dead
002.C09.012  Yet prompts him y%5t%6 stands next & could[sic] not read
002.C09.013  And saues his life) giues idiot Actors meanes
002.C09.014  Staruing himselfe to liue by his labour'd Scenes;
002.C09.015  As in some Organ puppetts dance aboue
002.C09.016  And bellowes pant below which them do moue.
002.C09.017  One would moue Loue by rimes; but witch craft charmes
002.C09.018  Bring not now their old feares, nor their old harmes.
002.C09.019  Rams & slings, now, are silly batterye
002.C09.020  Pistoletts are your best artillerye.
002.C09.021  And they who write to Lordes rewardes to gett
002.C09.022  Are they not %Jlike singers%K[Mvar:|Boyes#singing.|] at doore for meate?
002.C09.023  And they who write because all writt[sic] haue still
002.C09.024  Thats `scuse for writing, & for writing ill.
002.C09.025  But hee is worst who beggarly doth chaw
002.C09.026  Others witts fruites, & in his rauenous maw
002.C09.027  Rankly digested doth those thinges out=spew
002.C09.028  As his owne thinges; And %Yt'haue%Z>th'are< his owne, tis true.
002.C09.029  For, if one eate my meate, though it be knowen [f.10v]
002.C09.030  The meate was mine, the Excrement is his owne.
002.C09.031  But these do mee no harme, nor those that vse
002.C09.032  To out-swine[sic] Dildos, to out-vsure Iewes
002.C09.033  T'out-drinke the sea, %Yto%Zt'outsweare the Letanye,
002.C09.034  Who with sinnes all kinds as familiar bee
002.C09.035  As Confessors, & for whose sinfull sake
002.C09.036  Schoolmen new tenements now[sic] in hell must make,
002.C09.037  Whose strange sinnes Canonists could hardly tell
002.C09.038  In which com%Mandements Large receipt they dwell.
002.C09.039  But these punish themselues; the Insolence
002.C09.040  of Coscus only breedes my great[sic] offence,
002.C09.041  Whom time (which rotts all, & makes botches, pox,
002.C09.042  And plodding on must make a calfe an oxe)
002.C09.043  Hath made a lawyer, who alas of Late
002.C09.044  But scarce a Poett, iollier of his state
002.C09.045  Then are new benific'd ministers, he throwes
002.C09.046  (Like netts or limetwigges) whersoere he goes,
002.C09.047  His title of Barrister on eury wench
002.C09.048  And wooes in language of y%5e%6 Plees & Bench.
002.C09.049  A motion, Lady; Speake Coscus; I haue beene
002.C09.050  In loue ere since Tricesimo of the Queene.
002.C09.051  Continuall claymes I haue made, Iniunctions gott
002.C09.052  To stay my Riualls suite, that he should not
002.C09.053  Proceed. Spare me. In Hillary terme I went,
002.C09.054  You said if I return'd next 'Size in Lent
002.C09.055  I should be in Remitter of your grace
002.C09.056  In %Yt'l%Zth'interim my letters should take place
002.C09.057  Of Affedauitts. Wordes, wordes which would teare [CW:>>the<<]
002.C09.058  The tender labyrinth of a soft maydes eare [f.11r]
002.C09.059  More more then %Yof%Zten Slauonians scolding, more
002.C09.060  Then when windes in our ruyn'd Abbyes rore.
002.C09.061  When sicke with Poetry, & possest with Muse
002.C09.062  Thou wast, & madde (I hop'd.) But men which choose
002.C09.063  Law practise for meere gaine, bold soule, repute
002.C09.064  worse then embrotheld strumpetts prostitute.
002.C09.065  Now like an Owle-like watchman, he must walke
002.C09.066  His hand still at a Bill: Now he must talke
002.C09.067  Idly, like prisoners who whole months will sweare
002.C09.068  That only suretiship hath brought them there.
002.C09.069  And to euery Suitor lye in euery thinge
002.C09.070  Like a kings fauorite, yea like a kinge.
002.C09.071  Like a wedge in a block wring to the barre
002.C09.072  Bearing like Asses & more shamelesse farre
002.C09.073  Then carted whores lye to y%5e%6 graue Iudge. For
002.C09.074  Bastardye abounds not in kinges titles, nor
002.C09.075  Simony & Sodomy in churchmens liues
002.C09.076  As these thinges do in him, by these he thriues.
002.C09.077  Shortly (as the Sea) heele compasse all o%5r%6 land
002.C09.078  From Scotts to Wight, from Mount to Douer strand.
002.C09.079  And spying Heires melting with gluttonye
002.C09.080  Satan will not ioy at their sinnes as Hee.
002.C09.081  For as a thrifty wench scrapes kitchin stuffe
002.C09.082  And barrelling the droppinges & the snuffe
002.C09.083  Of wasting candles, within thirty yeare
002.C09.084  Relique-like kept, perchance getts wedding-geare,
002.C09.085  Peecemeale, he getts lands, & spends as much time
002.C09.086  Wringing each acre as men pulling prime. [CW:%1om%2]
002.C09.087  In parchment, then, as large as feilds, hee drawes [f.11v]
002.C09.088  Assurances, bigge as gloss'd Ciuill lawes,
002.C09.089  So huge, as men in our times forwardnesse
002.C09.090  Are Fathers of the Church for writing lesse.
002.C09.091  These he writes not, nor for these written payes
002.C09.092  Therfore [sic]spare no length. As in those first dayes
002.C09.093  When Luther was profess'd, he did desire
002.C09.094  Short Pater nosters, saying as a Fryer
002.C09.095  Each day his beades, But, hauing left those lawes
002.C09.096  Addes to Christs prayer the Power & glory clause.
002.C09.097  But when he selles or changes land, he empayres
002.C09.098  His writing, and (vnwatch'd) leaues out [%1space%2] heyres,
002.C09.099  As sly as any Com%Mentor goes by
002.C09.100  Hard wordes or sence, or in Diuinitye
002.C09.101  As Controuersors, in vouch'd texts, leaue out
002.C09.102  Shrewd wordes, which might against them cleere the doubt.
002.C09.103  Where are those spredd woods, which cloth'd heertofore
002.C09.104  Those bought landes? Not built or burnt within dore:
002.C09.105  Where the old Landlords troupes & almes? In halls
002.C09.106  Carthusian fastes, & fulsome Bacchanalls
002.C09.107  Equally I hate, meanes blesse in rich mens homes
002.C09.108  I bid kill some beasts, but not Hecatombes
002.C09.109  None starue, none surfett so. But o%C wee allow
002.C09.110  Good workes, as Good, but out of fashion now,
002.C09.111  Like old rich wardrobes. But my wordes neere[sic] draw
002.C09.112  Within the vast reach of th' huge statute Law.|
