For the cough take Iudas ●are With the paring of a pear And drink them without fear If ye will have remedy Three syppes are for the hyckocke And. vi. more for the chyckocke Thus my pretty pyckocke Recover by and by. If ye can not sleep but slumber give Oats unto saint Un●umber And beans in a certain number Unto saint Blaze and saint Blythe give onions to saint Cutlake And garlic to saint Cyryake If ye will shurne the head ache. Ye shall have them at queen hythe. A dram of a sheeps tyrdle And good saint trances girdle With the hamlet of an hyr●le Are wholesome for the pyppe Besides these charms afore I have feats many more That I keep still in store Whom now I over hip. It is a sport I trow To heat how she out blow Her witchcrafts on a row By the Mass I must needs smile. Now I pray the let me know What sedes that thou canst sow Mankind to overthrow And the law of nature beguile. Myself I so behave And am so vile a knave As nature doth deprave And utterly abhor I am such a vice truly As God in his great rye Did punish most terribly In Sodom and in Gomorr▪ In the flesh I am a fire And such a vile desire As bring men to the mire Of fowl concupiscence. We two together began To spring and to grow in man, As Thomas of Aquyne scan In the fourth book of his sentence. I dwelled among the Sodomytes The Beniamytes, and Madyanytes And now the popish hypocrites Embrace me every where I am now become all spiritual For the clergy at Rome and over all For want of wives to me doth fall To God they have no fear. The children of God I did so move That they the daughters of men did love Working such ways as did not behove Till the flood them over went. With Noes son Cham I was half joined When he is drunken father scorned In the Sodomytes I also reigned. Till the hand of God them brent. I was with Man not unacquainted When he on the ground his increase shed For me his brethren Ioseph accused As Genesis doth tell David once warned all men of us two. Do not as mules and horses will do. Confounded be they, that to images go Those are the ways to hell. Both Esaye and Ezechiell Both H●etemy and Daniel Of us the abominations tell With the prophets everychou For us two God struck with fire and water With battle, with plagues, & fearful matter With painful ertle, than at the latter Into Egypt and Babylon. As Paul to the Romans testify The gentiles after idolatry Fell to such be stiall sodomy That God did them forsake Who followeth us as he confess The kingdom of God shall never possess And as the Aparalyps' express Shall sink to the burning lake.
