¶ Vnthankfulnesse of minde, a monster in Nature.
ON thanklesse Friend, whose trauayle is imployde,
With Asses Damme shall reape ingratefull méede:
Whose wanton Fole by her swéete mylke acloyde,
Oft kicks the Nurse, that doth it choycely féede,
H. His deuises, for his owne exercise, and his friends pleasure

As doe the Uipers broode, whose yongling long,
When mothers care with tender loue hath cherisht:
Requite the same with such vngratefull wrong,
That in rewarde, her lyfe by them is perisht.
Whose Nature is vnkindly to deuoure,
The wombe whence fyrst they tooke their lyuing powre.
To whom we may the vngratefull sorte compare,
That Uiper lyke séeke spoyle▪ where they should spare.
