With such observance as rank devils use Upon the precious mortgage of a soul I had been ready to depart with all; With pleasures, titles, all things, to enrich Thy budding fortunes; all did I reserve Till death determined my approaching fate, Only to thee, than all, was consecrate, By due surrender; but (young prodigal) Your hopes and life (poor slave) be pawned to me Whom no sworn-devils Broker shall exceed In scurvy usage, though my heartstrings bleed. If no true mercy then may mitigate Thy dull and stupid deafness. I do dare The utmost of your frantic violence, Cast all thy Adder-stings upon my heart; Be thy conceited cramps more exquisite Than is a terrible tormenting Bull; Break forth (Hyaena) get some peevish dwarf To hack me down at leisure; till I stand Like a Colossus, like a Cedar tall And yet immovable with smarting wounds: Stab me now (tyrant) or inflict full pain Upon each noble joint and glorious vein, Virtue shall keep me with a sacred charm Against the strength of a stipendious arm: The challenge of my cause being heard at large All (to thy damage) would my griefs discharge: Mock babes and children (sir) with rods in piss, I did approve no true defence like this, That I have done uprightly; knit your brow, Swell with a crabbed face conformable, Let your offended garbage fry in steaks, Truth will aver, and honest dealing speaks That I have done uprightly; be ashamed Of thy unjust revenge, and murder named. Dare you then buzz (you beetle) and advance Your voice to contradict superiors? Proud slave come nearer; he may live 'mong rats, Who will be daunted with a swarm of gnats, Much less with one poor mushroom; petty sir Pray leave to grumble, (you mad factious cur) Torments shall mitigate and make you tame Pains worse than death, shall make thee deadly lame. Do I deserve such pains? no fiery youth I have done most uprightly, will discharge A good officious part, if you proceed, I will unmask your shameful tricks indeed. A squib, a squib, crack, flash, and spit apace, Break (my ox-bladder) vanish into breath, A screech-owl bids thee sing before thy death, Squeak our rare bagpipe; flesh-fly buzz again, Seem to insult with voice, (thou very sound) Take thy last leave, bequeath short life to ground. Hark how the monstrous whale doth roar aloud. Presaging tempests (Pilot) in the straits. No huge sea-wonder) I a swordfish am, Who will by virtue most upright and plain, Sting thee, and thrash thee, till thou roar with pain: Proud man, remember what thou well deserv'st, Think who hath tempted royal chastity; Who like a cheating thief did steal the Queen, With lying vows, and studied shameless oaths, Did play the juggler; left the king's highway, And went about to break enclosures: think Who did excel in mischief, who did strive To worship Devils, who did seek by Just, And means new moulded, most inordinate, To make a Heavenly Saint a Sodomite, Compel pure thoughts to worship Priapus.
