Great thankes to the welcome , in Churchyards behalfe : To him that hath bleared , and cried like a Calfe . Full well by his crying a man may now know , Where veale may be bought of a price very low : The head and the purtnaunce , with gather though small , As cheape as a Shepes head , the hornes bought withall . REstlesse heads , I wel perceaue , to be acquainted sure : Can rashly fede on matters grose as meate for them vnpure . So well I doe perceaue by one , who hath of late take payne : By penned verce on high Churchyard to welcome home agayne . In tauntyng wise ( alas thou foole ) what needed thus thy head To trauaile in such flickeryng vearce , sith all thy wits be fled ? Doest thou know thou chattring Pye on whome thou doest thus rayle ? Or hast thou cause by gawled backe , to wag and wince thy tayle ? As no reuenge , this men accoumpt , to wreake thy angrie moode ? To charge him with a vowed oth , for wearyng of a hoode . Thy nature yll , doth well declare , thy rancour and thy spight : To heads that bare and naked are , yet needs not lanthorne light . * But canst thou spare a hood in dede ? of hoods hast thou such store ? How can thy hornes for hoods be sene ? husht husht , I say no more . Let Churchyard liue & raigne in place to his contented mynde , And so let euery horned beast go raunge , lyke to his kynde . For cloughie Clem , and William to neede not to take more payne , Sith Adam Bel , for Clem of the clough the monstrous Shepe hath slayne . And outlawes are ( as I heare say ) for this , so haynous deed : So farewell . C. with horned cap , good night , and eke good speed . Thus doe I cease with hoods Robin , now Robin Hood farewell : And Robinson in Churchyards stede , shall weare the hood and bell . And yf this rude and simple verce may not a warnyng bee , To stay your cockyug crakyng head take heed lest that you see : The cokscombe knockt about your pate , then hoods no more wyll seeme Your hornes to hyde , but al men shall a monster thee esteeme . And as for Churchyards cumming hom was not of his free wyll , But for to please such stats whos hests may both commaund and wyll . Thus bid I thee farewell a whyle , as one that keepes his pen : To aunswer such as shall presume , to blea lyke Calues in den . ( ꝙ ) Ra. Sm. FINIS .
