We made Thalon and Sophocles Thamiras, Nero, Agathocles Tiberius and Iristoteles Themselves to use unnaturally I taught Aristo and Fuluius Semiramis and Hortensius Crathes Hyliscus, and Pontius Beasts to abuse most monstrously. Marry thou art the devil himself If ye knew how he could pelf Ye would say he were such an elf As none under heaven were else. The fellow is well decked disguised and well necked Both knave bald and pypecked He lacketh nothing but help. In the first age I began And so perseverde with man And still will if I can So long as he endure If monkysshe sects renew And popish preestes continue Which are of my retinue To live I shall be sure. Clean Marriage they forbid, Yet can not their ways be hid, Men know what hath betid When they have been in apparel Oft have they buried quick Such as were never sick Full many a proper trick They have to help their quarrel. In Rome to me they fall Both bishop and cardinal Monk, friar, priest, and all More rank they are then ants Example in hope Iulye Which sought in his fury Two lads, and to use them beastly. From the cardinal of Nautes. Well, you two are for my mind Step forth and do your kind Leave never a point behind That may corrupt in man The law writ in his heart In his flesh, do thy part And his soul so pernart Do thou the best thou can. Here have I pretty gins Both brooches beads and pins With such as the people wins Unto idolatry Take thou part of them here Beads, rings, and other gear And shortly the begete To deceive Man properly Take this same staff and scrip With a God here of a chyppe And good beldame forward hip To set forth pilgrimage Set thou forth sacramentals Say dyrge, and sing trentals Study the pope's Decretals And mixed them with buggerage Here is a stole for the A ghostly father to be To here, Benedicite A box of cream and oil Here is a purse of relics bags, rotten boves, and sticks A taper with other tricks Show them in every soil I will corrupt God's Image With most unlawful usage And bring him into dotage Of all concupiscence. Within the flesh thou art But I dwell in the heart. And will the soul pervert From God's obedience. Spare none abomination Nor detestable fashion That man's imagination By wit may comprehend To quicken our spirits among Sing now some metysonge But let it not be long least we to moche offend. OMnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram formasti laicos, da quesumus, ut sicut corum sudoribus divimus, ita corum uxoribus filiabus et domicellis perpetuo frui mereamur. Per domin● nostrum Papam, Now are these horesons forth It will be somewhat worth To see how they will work The one to poison the heart The other the outward part Ingeniously will luck.
