Loue made you apt to feare those slanders true,
Which in my absence were but lately sowne:
It was a motherly distrust in you,
But those that raisd them are false villaines known
For though I must confesse I am indeed,
The vilest to my selfe that liues this time,
Yet to the world ward I'ue tane such heed,
Theres none can spot me with a hainous crime.
This I am forct to speake, you best know why,
Wherer's that man liuing that dare say I lye.
