005.H05.001  Thou shalt not laugh in this leafe (Muse) nor they
005.H05.002  Whome any pitty warmes. He which did lay
005.H05.003  rules to make Courtiers, he, (beinge vnderstood)
005.H05.004  may make good Courtiers, but who? Courtiers good,
005.H05.005  frees from the stinge of iests all, who in extreme
005.H05.006  are wretched or wicked; of those two a theame
005.H05.007  charity and liberty giue me; what is he
005.H05.008  who officers rage and suitors misery
005.H05.009  Can write, and iest? yf all thinges be in all,
005.H05.010  as I thinke, since all w%5ch%6 were, are, and shall-
005.H05.011  be, be made of the same Elementes,
005.H05.012  each thinge, each thinge implyes or representes.
005.H05.013  Then Man is a world, in w%5ch%6, Officers
005.H05.014  are the vast raveninge seas, and suitors
005.H05.015  springes, nowe full, nowe shallowe, nowe dry, w%5ch%6 to
005.H05.016  that w%5ch%6 drownes them runne: these selfe reasons doe
005.H05.017  proue the world a Man, in w%5ch%6 Officers
005.H05.018  are the devouringe stomacke, and suitors
005.H05.019  the excrement w%5ch%6 they voyde: All men are dust;
005.H05.020  Howe much worse are Suitors, w%5ch%6 to mens lust
005.H05.021  are made prayes? oh, worse then dust or wormes-meate;
005.H05.022  for they doe eate you nowe, whose selues wormes shall eate.
005.H05.023  They are the Mills w%5ch%6 grind you, and you are
005.H05.024  the winde w%5ch%6 driues them, and a wastfull warre
005.H05.025  is fought against you, and you fight it, they
005.H05.026  adulterate lawe, and you prepare theire way
005.H05.027  like wittalls; th'yssue your owne ruine is:
005.H05.028  Greatest and fairest Empresse, knowe you this?
005.H05.029  Alas, no more then Theames cold head doth knowe
005.H05.030  whose meades her armes drowne, or whose corne ore'flowe.
005.H05.031  you Sir, (whose righteousnes she loues, whome I  [f.118v]
005.H05.032  by havinge leaue to serue, am most richly
005.H05.033  for service payd) authorizd', nowe beginne
005.H05.034  to knowe and weede out this enormous sinne.
005.H05.035  O age of rusty yron! Some better witt
005.H05.036  call it some worse name, yf ought equall it.
005.H05.037  The yron age, when Iustice was sold (nowe
005.H05.038  Iniustice is sold deerer farre) did allowe
005.H05.039  all claymed fees and dutyes; Gamesters, anon
005.H05.040  the money w%5ch%6 you sweare and sweate for's gon
005.H05.041  in t'others handes; Soe controverted landes
005.H05.042  scape (like Angelica) the stryvers handes.
005.H05.043  yf Lawe be in the Iudges hart, and he
005.H05.044  haue no hart to resist letter or fee,
005.H05.045  where wilt thou appeale? pow're of the Courts belowe
005.H05.046  flowe from the first maine head, and these can throwe
005.H05.047  thee, yf they sucke thee into misery,
005.H05.048  to fetters, halters; but yf the Iniury
005.H05.049  steele thee to dare complayne, alas, thou goest
005.H05.050  against the streame, when vpwardes; when th'art most
005.H05.051  heavy and most faint, and in those labours, they
005.H05.052  'gainst whome thou shouldst complaine, will in thy way
005.H05.053  become greate Seas, o're w%5ch%6 when thou shalt be
005.H05.054  forc'd to make golden bridges, thou shalt see
005.H05.055  that all thy gold was drown'd in them before
005.H05.056  All thinges followe their like: only who haue, may haue more.
005.H05.057  Iudges are Gods; he who made and stild' them soe,
005.H05.058  meant not men should be forcd' to them to goe
005.H05.059  by meanes of Angells: when supplicao%Mns[sic]
005.H05.060  we send to God, to Dominations,
005.H05.061  powr's, Cherubins, and all heavens Court, yf we
005.H05.062  should pay fees as here, daily bread would be  [f.119]
005.H05.063  scarse to kinges: soe ti's: would it not anger
005.H05.064  a stoicke, a coward, yea a martyr
005.H05.065  to see a pursyvant come in, and call
005.H05.066  all his, clothes, boxes, bookes, primers, and all
005.H05.067  his, plate, challices, and mistake them away
005.H05.068  and aske a fee for com%Minge? oh, ne're may
005.H05.069  faires[sic] Lawe's white reverent name be strumpeted
005.H05.070  to warrant thefts! she is established
005.H05.071  Recorder to Destiny on Earth, and she
005.H05.072  speaks ffates wordes, and but tell vs who must be
005.H05.073  rich, who poore, who in Chaires, who in Iayles:
005.H05.074  she is all faire, but yet hath foule longe nayles,
005.H05.075  with w%5ch%6 she scratcheth suitors: In bodies
005.H05.076  of men, soe in Lawe, nailes are the extremities,
005.H05.077  Soe Officers stretch to more then Lawe can doe,
005.H05.078  as our nayles reach, what no part els comes to.
005.H05.079  Why bar'st thou yon Officers foote? hath he
005.H05.080  gott those goodes, for w%5ch%6 ear'st men bar'd to thee?
005.H05.081  foole twice, thrice, thou hast bought wrong, and nowe hungerly
005.H05.082  begst right: but that dole comes not till these dy.
005.H05.083  Thou hadst much, and Lawes Vrim and Thum%Mim try
005.H05.084  thou wouldst for more; and for all, hast paper
005.H05.085  ynough to cloath all the great Carrackes Pepper;
005.H05.086  Sell that, and by that thou much more shalt Leese,
005.H05.087  then Ham%Mon, yf he sold his Antiquityes.
005.H05.088  Oh wretch! that thy ffortunes should moralize
005.H05.089  AE%Lsops ffables, and make tales prophesies;
005.H05.090  Thou art that swim%Minge dogge, whome shadowes cozoned,
005.H05.091  who diu'd, neere drowninge for what vanished.|
