Which of these fower , that here you see , In greatest daunger you thinke to be .
A Clyent , betweene two Lawyers . A Maide , betweene two Friers .

〈…〉 the ●equell doe nor doubt . Betweene 〈…〉 both , with lossse I must wrinng out . But it 's I must bring thy matter well about . I am 〈…〉 elder , and can best counsaile giue . I still shall doubt , when two such doe meshrieue . I am the younger , doe him beeleeve .

Clyent . Good Sir what thinke you of my case ? Lawyer . T is cleere , & good , & iust . Clyent . But what say you Sir ? Lawyer . This I say , take heede to whom you trust . Clyent . Why Sir ? thinke you he is not learn'd ? Lawyer . Yes , but his power is small , Giue me my fee , it is in me to make an end of all . Clyent . Now in what daung●r standes my case , in these two Lawyers handes ? That while I creepe to them for wordes , they creepe into my Landes . Maide . What say you holy man to me ? Frier . I say , faire holy maide , Leane thou to me , and on my loue , let all thy sinnes be laide : Maide . And what say you good man ? Frier . I say shew all to me ; That better then that aged man , can helpe and comfort thee . Maide . Now in what perill standes a Maide , in shrieft betweene two Friers ? That only make the Church a Cloake , to couer foule desires .
A Goose , betweene two Foxes . A Rat , betweene two Cats .

Gossip be silent , and doe leaue your prate . Then what meanes Raynards walke abroad so late . Neighbours you knowe , false dealing I doe hate . T is pittie that this spoyling beast doth liue . My smallest faults must punisht be , When greater theeues are let goe free . Then Sister Pusse , doe you the onset giue .

Goose . Sir Raynard , what say you to me ? Raynard I say you slaine the grasse : And you are like to answer for , the trespasse ere you passe . Goose . And what say you good Sir ? Raynard . Your keakeing wak'd my Dame , And you shall knowe , what t is to bring the house so out of frame . Goose . Alas hard hap , one simple Goose , to be two Foxes prey , When from one Fox , a flocke of Geese can hardly scape away . Rat. Good Mistris Pusse , tell me wherefore you aime thus at my head ? Cat. Because you stole my Mistris Cheese , her Candles , and her Bread . Rat. And what say you good Pusse ? Cat. You gnaw'd my Mistris Ruffes , Her Aprons , Towells , Handkerchiefes , her Falling Bands , and Cuffes . Rat. Alas , that one poore Rat , should come , to die betweene two Cats , When one good Cat , will serue the turne , to kill a world of Rats .
