What Beta? shepheard, she is Pans belou'd,Faire Betas praise beyond our straine doth stretch,Her notes too hie for my poore pipe to reach,poore oten reede:
So farre vnfit to speake of vvorthies deede,But set my stops vnto a lovver kay,Whereas a horne-pipe I may safelie play,yet vnreproou'd.
With flatterie my muse could neuer fage,Nor could affect such vaine scurrility,To please lewd Lorrels, in their foolery,too base and vile:
Nor but a note yet will I raise my stile,My selfe aboue VVill Piper to aduance,Which so bestirs him at the morris dance,for pennie wage.
