| O giue him many thankes, hee's Courteous [118] |
| That, in suspecting, kindly warneth vs, |
| Wee must not, as wee vs'd, floute openly |
| In scoffing riddles his deformity, |
| Nor at his board together beeing sate |
| With words, or touch, scarse lookes, adulterate. |
| Nor, when hee, swolne and pamperd with high fare, |
| Sitts downe and snorts, cag'd in his basket chayre, |
| Must wee vsurpe his owne bedd any more, |
| Nor kisse and play in his house as before: |
| Now I see many dangers, for that is |
| His Realme, his Castle, and his Diocesse. |
| But if (as envious men that would revile |
| Theyr prince, or coyne his gold, them selues exile |
| Into another country, and doe it there) |
| Wee into some third place retyred were |
| There will wee scorne his houshold pollicyes |
| His silly plotts, and pentionary spyes |
| As the Inhabitants of Thames right side |
| Do Londons Mayor, or Germans the Popes, Pride. |
