Printed with Authoritie .

Marre Mar-martin . I Know not why a fruitles rime in print , May not as well with modestie be touched , As fruitles prose , since neither hath his stint , And eithers doings cannot be auouched . Then if both rime and prose impugne the troth . How like you him likes neither of them both ? Our Prelates , Martin saith , want skill and reason : Our Martinists , Mar-martin termeth Asses : The one , another doth accuse of treason , He passes best that by the gallowes passes . Traitor , no traitor , here 's such traitors striuing , That Romish traitors now are set a thriuing . While England falles a Martining and a marring , Religion feares , an vtter ouerthrowe . Whil'st we at home among our selues are iarring , Those seedes take roote which forraign seedes men sow . If this be true , as true it is for certen , Wo worth Martin Mar-prelate and Mar marten . On Whitson euen last at night , I dreaming sawe a pretie sight , Three monsters in a halter tide , And one before , who seemde their guide . The formost lookt and lookt againe , As if he had not all his traine : With that I askt that gaping man His name : my name ( said he ) is Lucian . This is a Iesuite , quoth he , These Martin and Mar-martin be : I seeke but now for Machyuell , And then we would be gone to hell . Two Bookes vpon a table lay , For which two yonkers went to play : They tript a Dye and thus did make , Who threw the most , should both Bookes take . He that had Martin flang the furst , An Asse that was which was the worst . Mar-martins master in the hast Hop'd then to hit a better cast : And yet as cunning as he was , He could not fling aboue an Asse . Together by the eares they go , Which of the Asses gets the throw . The first vpon his Asse would stand , He wonne it by the elder hand . Tush , quoth the second that s no matter , Mine was an asse , though mine the latter . And turning backe he spake to mee , Who all this while this sport did see : Is t not a wonder , say of loue , That none of vs should fling aboue ? No sir , quoth I , it were a wonder If either of you , had flung vnder . What sonnes ? what fathers ? Sonnes and fathers fighting , Alas our welfare , and alas our helth . What motes ? what beames ? & both displaid in writing , Alas the Church , alas the Common welth . What , at this tyme ? what , vnder such a Queene ? Alas that still our fruite should be so greene . What , wanton Calues ? what , lost our former loue ? Alas our pride , alas our mutabilitie . What , Christ at oddes ? what Serpents nere a doue ? Alas our rage , alas our inhumilitie . What , bitter taunts ? what , lyes in stead of preaching ? Alas our heate , alas our neede of teaching . Beare gracious Queene , Europaes matchles mirror : Beare noble Lords , renowned counsell giuers : Beare Clergie men , for you must spie the error : Beare common people , common light beleeuers : Beare ioyntly one anothers weakenesse so , That though we wither , yet the Church may grow . If all be true that Lawyers say , The second blowe doth make the fray : Mar-Martins fault can be no lesse , Than Martins was which brake the peace . Martin , Marre-Martin , Barrow , Browne , All helpe to pull Religion downe . FINIS .
