002.F21.0HE Satire 2%5d%6:| [verso]  
002.F21.001 S%5r%6 though (I thanke god for it) I doe hate
002.F21.002 perfectly all this Towne, yet there is one state
002.F21.003 in all ill thinkes[sic] so Excellently best,
002.F21.004 that hate towardes them b*redds Pitty towardes the rest [CW:though Poetry]
002.F21.005 Though Poetry indeed by such a Sinn [recto]
002.F21.006 As I thinke it bringes death & %1Spaniards%2 in.
002.F21.007 Though like the Pestilence, or old fashioned loue
002.F21.008 It riddlingly catch men, & doth remoue
002.F21.009 Neuer till it be steru'd out; yet theire state
002.F21.010 Is poore, disarmed, like Papists, not worth hate
002.F21.011 Or like a wretch w%5ch%6 att Barr Iudged, as dead
002.F21.012 yet prompts him w%5ch%6 stands next & could not read
002.F21.013 And %Xsus%Ysaues his life, giues Ideott Actors meanes
002.F21.014 (steruinge himself) to liue by his labor'd Sceanes
002.F21.015 As in some Organs Pappittes dance aboue
002.F21.016 And bellows pant below w%5th%6 them do moue
002.F21.017 One would moue loue by rimes, by witchcraft Charmes
002.F21.018 Bring not now theire old feares, nor theire old harmes
002.F21.019 Ramms and Slinges now are seely Batterys
002.F21.020 Pistoletts are the best Artilerys
002.F21.021 And they who write to %1Lords%2, rewardes to gett
002.F21.022 Are they not like Boys, singing att doores for meate
002.F21.023 And they who write, because all write, haue still
002.F21.024 that 'scuse for writting, & for writing ill;
002.F21.025 But he >%^%5is%6 worst who beggerly doth Chaw
002.F21.026 others witts, fruites, and in his rauenous maw [CW:rawly disgested] 
002.F21.027 rawly disgested, doth these thinges outspue [verso]
002.F21.028 As his owne thinges: and they are his owne, tis true:
002.F21.029 for if one eate my meate, though it be knowne
002.F21.030 the meat was mine the Excrement's his owne,
002.F21.031 But they doe me no harme for they w%5ch%6 vse
002.F21.032 to out swive %1Dildoes%2, and out-vsure %1Iewes%2
002.F21.033 to out drinke the Sea, out sweare the %1latanee%2
002.F21.034 who w%5th%6 sinns all kindes, as familier bee
002.F21.035 as Confessors, And for whose sinfull sake
002.F21.036 Schoolemen new Tenementes in %1Hell%2 must make
002.F21.037 whose strange sinns %1Cannonists%2 could hardly tell
002.F21.038 In wi%5ch%6 Commaundments lardge receipt they dwell
002.F21.039 But these punish themselues. Th Insolence
002.F21.040 of %1Cascus%2 onely breeds my greate offence
002.F21.041 whom time w%5ch%6 rotts all, and makes Botches Poxe
002.F21.042 And plodding, on, must make a Calfe an Oxe
002.F21.043 Hath made a lawier: w%5ch%6 was alas of late
002.F21.044 But a sc*arce Poett: Iollier of this State
002.F21.045 Then are new benefic'd Ministers: he throwes
002.F21.046om
002.F21.047 his title of Barrister on eu%5er%6y wench
002.F21.048 And woes in language of the Pleas and Bench. [CW:a motion]
002.F21.049 A Motion %X(%Ylady (speake %1Coscus%2)s[sic] I haue beene  [recto]
002.F21.050 In loue eu%5er%6 since %1tricesimo%2 of the %1Queene%2.
002.F21.051 Continuall Claimes I haue made, Iniunctions gott
002.F21.052 to stay my %1Riualls%2 sute, that he should not
002.F21.053 proceed, spare mee, In Hillary terme I went
002.F21.054 you said if I retorn'd this %1Size%2 in %1Lent%2
002.F21.055 I should be in remitter of yo%5r%6 grace.
002.F21.056 In the Interim my letters should take place
002.F21.057 of %1Affedavitts%2, wordes wordes w%5ch%6 would teare
002.F21.058 the tender labo'rinth of a soft maides Eare.
002.F21.059 More more then tenn %1Sclauonians%2 scolding, more
002.F21.060 then when windes in our ruined Abbies rore.
002.F21.061 when sicke of Poetry, and possest w%5th%6 muse
002.F21.062 Thou wast and madd, I hop'd; but men w%5ch%6 chuse
002.F21.063 Law Practise for meere gaine, Bold %1Soule%2 repute
002.F21.064 worse then* Imbrotheld Strmpests[sic] prostitute.
002.F21.065 Now like an Owlelike Watchman he must walke
002.F21.066 His hand still at a Bill: now he must talke 
002.F21.067 Idly, like Prison%5er%6s, w%5ch%6 whole monthes will Sweare
002.F21.068 that onely Suretiship hath brought [om] there
002.F21.069 And to eu%5er%6y Sutor lye in Eu%5er%6y thinge
002.F21.070 like a %1Kings fauorite%2, yea like a %1King%2 [CW:like a wedge]
002.F21.071 Like a wedge in a blocke wr>a%>u<ng to the barr [verso]
002.F21.072 beareing like Asses, and more shamlesse farr
002.F21.073 then Carted whores, lye to the graue Iudge, for
002.F21.074 %1Bastardy%2 abounds not in %1Kings%2 tittles, nor
002.F21.075 %1Simony%2 and %1Sodomy%2 in Church men liues
002.F21.076 as these thinges doe in him by these he thriues.
002.F21.077 Shortly as the Sea he will Compasse all o%5r%6 Land
002.F21.078 from %1Scotts%2 to %1Wight%2, from %1Mount%2, to %1Douer%2 %1strand%2,
002.F21.079 And spieing %1Heires%2 melting w%5th%6 %1Gluttonie%2,
002.F21.080 Satan will not ioy att theire Sinns, as hee.
002.F21.081 for as a thrifty wench scrapes kitching stuffe
002.F21.082 and barrelling the droppinges, and the Snuffe
002.F21.083 of wastinge Candle, w%5ch%6 in thirty yeare
002.F21.084 %1Relique%2-lyke kept p%Pchance buyes wedding geare
002.F21.085 Peicemeale he gets land, and spends as much time
002.F21.086 wringinge each Acre, as men pulling Prime.
002.F21.087 In Parchments as large, as his feildes he drawes
002.F21.088 Assurances, %Xa%Ybigg as glossd %1Civill%2 %1lawes%2.
002.F21.089 So huge that Men in our times forwardnes
002.F21.090 are fathers of the Chur>g%>c<h for writing lesse [CW:these he writes not]
002.F21.091 These he writes not, nor for these writer paies [recto]
002.F21.092 therfore spares no lenghth: As in these first daies
002.F21.093 When %1Luther%2 was p%Pfest, he did desire
002.F21.094 Short %1Pa%5t%6%2: %1nost%5rs%6%2, saying as a %1frier%2
002.F21.095 Each day his beades, but haue left his lawes
002.F21.096 Adds to Christes Praier the %1Power%2 and %1Glorie%2 Clause
002.F21.097 But when he sells, or changes Land, he impaires
002.F21.098 his writing, and vnwatched leaues out his heires,
002.F21.099 As slily as any Comentor goes by
002.F21.100 Hard wordes or sence; or in devinity
002.F21.101 as Controu%5er%6ters in vouch't textes leaue out
002.F21.102 such wordes as might against them cleare the doubte.
002.F21.103 Where are these spied woodes w%5ch%6 clothed heretofore
002.F21.104 these bought landes, not built, nor burnt, w%5th%6in dore?
002.F21.105 where thold %1Landlords%2 troopes & Almes? in greate halls
002.F21.106 %1Carthusian%2 %1feasts%2, and fullsome %1Bachinalls%2
002.F21.107 Equally I hate; Meanes blesse, In rich mens homes
002.F21.108 I bidd kill some beast but not %1Heccatomes%2.
002.F21.109 None %Xsterue%Ysterue, none surfett so,: But oh wee allowe
002.F21.110 good workes as good, but out of fashion now
002.F21.111 like ould ritch Wardrops, But my wordes none drawes
