004.H08.001  Well I may now receaue & dye: my sin
004.H08.002  Indeed is great, but I haue bin in
004.H08.003  A Purgatory, such as feard Hell is
004.H08.004  A recreation, & scarce mapp of this.
004.H08.005  My minde nor with prides itch, nor yet hath bin
004.H08.006  Poison'd with loue to see or to be seene.
004.H08.007  I had noe suite there, or new sute to shew,
004.H08.008  Yet went to Court. But as %1Glare%2 (w%5ch%6 did goe
004.H08.009  To Masse in iest) catchd, was faine to disburse
004.H08.010  The hundred Markes (w%5ch%6 is the Statutes curse)
004.H08.011  Before he scap'd. So it pleasd my destiny,
004.H08.012  (Guilty of my sin in going) to thinke mee
004.H08.013  As prone to ill, & of good as forgett=
004.H08.014  =full, as proud, lustfull, & as much in debt
004.H08.015  As vaine, as wittlesse, & as false as they
004.H08.016  W%5ch%6 dwell at Court; for once going that way
004.H08.017  Therefore I sufferd this: towards mee did runne
004.H08.018  A thinge more strange, then on %1Nilus%2 slime y%5e%6 Sun
004.H08.019  Ere bredd, or all which into %1Noahs%2 %1Arke%2 came;
004.H08.020  A thinge which would haue posd %1Adam%2 to name.
004.H08.021  Stranger then Seuen %1Antiquaryes%2 studyes;
004.H08.022  Then Affrick monsters, %1Guianas%2 rarityes:
004.H08.023  Stranger then strangers; one who for a %1Dane%2 
004.H08.024  in the %1Danes%2 massacre had sure bin slayne
004.H08.025  if he had liu'de then; & without helpe dyes
004.H08.026  when next the Prentises 'gainst strangers rise.
004.H08.027  One whom the Watch at noone lets scarce goe by,
004.H08.028  one to whom the examining Iustice sure would cry
004.H08.029  S.%5r%6 by your %1Preisthood%2 tell mee what you are:
004.H08.030  His cloathes were strange, though course, & black, though bare, [f.72v]
004.H08.031  Sleeueles his Ierkin was, & it had bin
004.H08.032  Veluett, but t'was now (so much ground was seene)
004.H08.033  Become %1Tufftaffity%2; & our children shall
004.H08.034  See it plaine Rash awhile, then nought at all.
004.H08.035  This thing haue traveld, & saith he speaks all tongues
004.H08.036  And only knowes to all States what belongs.
004.H08.037  Made of the accents & the best phrase of these
004.H08.038  He speakes one language. If strange meates displease
004.H08.039  Art can deceaue, or hunger force my taste,
004.H08.040  But Pedants motley tongue, Souldiers bumbast,
004.H08.041  Mountbanks drugg tongue, nor the tearmes of law
004.H08.042  are strong enough preparitiues to draw
004.H08.043  mee to beare this: Yet I must be content
004.H08.044  with his tongue in his tongue calld complement
004.H08.045  In w%5ch%6 he can winn widdowes, & pay scores,
004.H08.046  make men speake treason, coozen subtlest whores,
004.H08.047  Out=flatter %1Favourites%2, & out=lye either
004.H08.048  %1Iovius%2 of %1Turius%2, or both together.
004.H08.049  He names mee, & comes to mee; I whisper, God
004.H08.050  How haue I sinn'd that thy wraths furious rodd
004.H08.051  (This fellow) chooseth mee? He sayeth, S%5r%6
004.H08.052  I loue your iudgment, whom doe you preferre
004.H08.053  for the best linguist? & I seelily
004.H08.054  Sayd that I though %1Calapines%2 %1dictionary%2.
004.H08.055  Nay but of men most sweete S%5r%6? %1Beza%2 then
004.H08.056  Some Iesuites, & two other reuerend men
004.H08.057  Of our two %1Academyes%2 I nam'd: there
004.H08.058  he stopt mee & sayd; nay, your Apostles were
004.H08.059  Pretty good linguists: so %1Panurgus%2 was,
004.H08.060  yet a poore Gentleman, all these may passe
004.H08.061  by trauaile. Then as if he would haue solde
004.H08.062  His tongue, he praisd it, & such wonders told, [f.73]
004.H08.063  That I was faine to say, had you liu'de S%5r%6
004.H08.064  Time enough to haue bin %1Interpretor%2 
004.H08.065  To %1Babels%2 brick=layers, sure the Tower had stood.
004.H08.066  He adds, if of Court life You knew the good
004.H08.067  You would leaue Lonenesse. I said, not alone
004.H08.068  My lonenesse is but %1Spartans%2 fashion
004.H08.069  To teach by painting drunkards doth not last
004.H08.070  Now; %1Aretines%2 pictures haue made few chaste:
004.H08.071  Noe more can %1Princes%2 Courts (though there be few
004.H08.072  Better pictures of vice) teach mee vertue.
004.H08.073  He like a high=stretchd lute string sq'ueakes; O S.%5r%6
004.H08.074  Tis sweete to talke of Kings: %1At%2 %1Westminster%2 
004.H08.075  Sayd I: the man that keepes the Abby Tombes
004.H08.076  And for his price doth with who euer comes
004.H08.077  of all our Harryes & our Edwards talke,
004.H08.078  from King to King, & all their kin can walke,
004.H08.079  Your eares shal heare nought but kings, yo%5r%6 eyes meete[%1trimmed%2]
004.H08.080  Kings only: The way to it is Kings streete.
004.H08.081  He smackd, & cry'de; Hee's base, mechanick, course
004.H08.082  And so are all your %1English%2 in their discourse.
004.H08.083  Are not your ffrenchmen neate? Myne's as you see,
004.H08.084  I haue but one S%5r%6., Looke he followes mee;
004.H08.085  Certes th'are neatly cloathd. I of this minde am
004.H08.086  Your only wearing is this %1Grogoram%2.
004.H08.087  Not so S.%5r%6, I haue more. Vnder this pitch
004.H08.088  He would not fly. I chaf'd; but as itch
004.H08.089  Scratchd into, smarts, & as blunt yron ground
004.H08.090  Into an edge hurts worse: So I foole found
004.H08.091  Crossing hurt mee. To fitt my sullaynes
004.H08.092  He to another key his stile doth dresse;
004.H08.093  And asks what newes? I tell him of new Playes;  [f.73v]
004.H08.094  He takes my hand; & as a Still w%5ch%6 stayes
004.H08.095  A Sembreife twixt each dropp, he niggardly
004.H08.096  As loth to inrich mee, so tells many a lye.
004.H08.097  More then ten %1Hollinsheads%2, or %1Halls%2, or %1Stowes%2 
004.H08.098  of triuiall houshould trash; hee knowes, hee knowes
004.H08.099  When the Queene smilde, or frown'd; & he knowes w.%5t%6
004.H08.100  A subtill Statesman may gather of that.
004.H08.101  He knowes who loues, whom; & who by poyson
004.H08.102  Hasts to an Offices reuersion:
004.H08.103  He knowes who sould his land, & now doth begg
004.H08.104  A licence, old yron, shooes, bootes, or egge=
004.H08.105  =shells to transport: Shortly boyes shall not play
004.H08.106  At blowe=pointe, or span=Counter, but they pay
004.H08.107  Toll to some %1Courtier%2. And wiser then all vs
004.H08.108  He knowes w%5ch%6 Lady is not painted. Thus
004.H08.109  He with home meates cloyes mee; I belch, spew, spitt
004.H08.110  Looke pale & sickly like a patient, yet
004.H08.111  He thrusts more on, as if he had vndertooke
004.H08.112  To say %1Gallobelgicus%2 without booke.
004.H08.113  Speakes of all States & deedes w%5ch%6 haue bin since
004.H08.114  The %1Spaniards%2 came to the losse of %1Amiens%2.
004.H08.115  Like a bigg wife at sight of loathed meate
004.H08.116  Ready to trauaile, So I sigh, & sweate
004.H08.117  To heare this %1Macaron%2 talke. In vaine. ffor yet
004.H08.118  Either my humo%5r%6 or his owne to fitt,
004.H08.119  He like a priuiledgd Spy (which nothing can
004.H08.120  Discreditt) libells now against each great man..
004.H08.121  He names a price for euery office payd,
004.H08.122  Hee sayes our warrs thriue ill because delayd.
004.H08.123  That offices are entayld, & that there are  [f.74]
004.H08.124  Perpetuityes of them, lasting as farre
004.H08.125  As the last day; & that great Officers
004.H08.126  doe with the Pyrates share, & w%5th%6 y%5e%6 %1Dunkerkers%2:
004.H08.127  Who wasts in cloathes, in meate, in horse he notes,
004.H08.128  Who loues whores, who boyes, & who goats.
004.H08.129  I more amaz'd then %1Circes%2 Prisoners when
004.H08.130  they felt themselues turn'd %1Beastes%2, felt myselfe y%5n%6
004.H08.131  Becomeing %1Traitor%2, & methought I saw
004.H08.132  One of our %1Gyant%2 %1Statutes%2 ope his iawe
004.H08.133  To suck mee in for hearing him: I found
004.H08.134  that as burnt venom'd Lechers doe grow sound
004.H08.135  By giueing others their sores, I might growe
004.H08.136  Guilty & hee free; therefore I did show
004.H08.137  all signes of loathing. But since I am in
004.H08.138  I must pay myne & my forefather sinn,
004.H08.139  to the last farthing. Therefore to my power
004.H08.140  Toughly & stubbornly I beare this crosse: But y%5e%6 hower
004.H08.141  of mercy now was come. He tryes to bring
004.H08.142  Mee to pay a fine t'escape his torturing;
004.H08.143  And sayd, S.%5r%6 can you spare mee? I sayd, willingly.
004.H08.144  Nay S%5r%6. can you spare mee a Crowne? Thankfully I
004.H08.145  Gaue it as ransome. But as fidlers still
004.H08.146  though they be payd to be gone, yet needes will
004.H08.147  Thrust one more Iigg vpon you: So did hee
004.H08.148  with his long complementall thankes vex mee.
004.H08.149  But hee is gone! Thanks to his needy want
004.H08.150  & the prerogatiue of my Crowne. Scant
004.H08.151  His thanks were ended, when I, which did see
004.H08.152  all the Court filld with more strange things, y%5n%6 hee[%1trimmed%2]
004.H08.153  Ran from thence w%5th%6 such or more haste then one

004.H08.155  At home in wholesome solitarinesse
004.H08.156  (My pitteous soule began the wretchednesse
004.H08.157  of Sutors at Court to moane, & a traunce
004.H08.158  (like his who dream'd he saw hell) did aduance

004.H08.160  I saw at Court, & worse, & more; Low feare

004.H08.162  Shall I (nones slaue) of high borne, or raisd men

004.H08.180  As fresh & sweete their apparrells bee, as bee

004.H08.190  The men boord them, & praise (as they thinke well)
004.H08.191  Their beautyes. They y%5e%6 mens witts: both are bought.
004.H08.192  Why good witts nere were scarlett gownes, I thought
004.H08.193  This cause. These men mens witts, for speeches buy,
004.H08.194  And weomen buy all redds with scarlet dye.
004.H08.195  He calls her beautyes limetwiggs, her haire nett,
004.H08.196  She feares her druggs ill layd, her haire ill sett.
004.H08.197  Would not %1Heraclitus%2 laugh to see %1Macrine%2

004.H08.223  He cares not. His ill words doe noe harme
