18331606fiend hath led through fire, and throgh foord, and whirli-poole,

18341607ore bog and quagmire, that has laide kniues vnder his pillow, &

18351608halters in his pue, set ratsbane by his pottage, made him proud

18371609of heart, to ride on a bay trotting horse ouer foure incht bridg-

18531623Is it the fashion that discarded fathers,

18541624Should haue thus little mercy on their flesh,

18551625Iudicious punishment, twas this flesh

18561626Begot those Pelicane daughters.

18661634haire, wore gloues in my cap, serued the lust of my mistris heart,

18671635and did the acte of darknesse with her, swore as many oaths as I

18681636spake words, and broke them in the sweete face of heauen, one

18691637that slept in the contriuing of lust, and wak't to do it, wine lo-

18701638ued I deepely, dice dearely, and in woman, out paramord the

18721639Turke, false of heart, light of eare, bloudy of hand, hog in sloth,
