Be bro••ke with wheeles of chariots passing by.
And him that hew'd you out for needfull vses,
I'le prooue had hands impure with all abuses.
Poore wretches on the tree themselues did strangle
There sat the hang-man for mens necks to angle.
To hoarse scrich-owles fowle shado••ves it allowes
Vultures and furies nestled in the boughs.
To these my loue I foolishly committed
And then with sweete words to my Mistrisse fitted••
More fitly had thy wrangling bonds contained
From barbarous lips of some Atturny strained.
Among day-bookes and bills they had layne better,
In which the Marchat wayles his banquerout debter,
Your name approoues you made for such like things
The number two no good diuining bringes.
Angry, I pray that rotten age you wrackes
And sluttish white-mould ouergrow the waxe.
