❧ The reedifying of Salomons Temple / and the Laborers therof . WHen that the Cocke began to crow in February last It was nere dai I knewe right wel the byrdes they songe so fast For they recorded plesauntly when they did vnderstande That winters blastes began to swage and Vere was euen at hande And when the Parker hard this Cock eftsone he gan to stere And vp he start and gate him forth to viewe and se the dere , And when he came he se the dere where they were on the launde At whome the dere were not amasde but styll they stode and faunde . For well they wyst this Parker came to do his wonted feate , And or he went from them agayne in dede he gaue them meate . Which they had sought & could not find wherefore they loked thyn , As though they had ben chast with dogs that lately had rusht in . As sone as he was gon from them a Scory scourde the coste , To fray the bandogges from the Dere for feare they should be loste . Whiche longe had made such spoile of them as like hath not ben sene , At euery course a leyshe or two as we full ofte haue sene . This Scory scoured all the parke he sercht it rounde about . To fortifie the walles therof to kepe the bandogs out When he had take the viewe therof , and sawe the parke so scalde . He made his sute vnto the Quene to haue it all newe palde . And after him there dyd succede a man of auncient yeares . Which did renewe the former sute vnto the noble Peeres . Whose iudgement is profounde & depe as all the learned say . And he affyrmde and proued it both our fayth was in decaye . Whiche is the moost assured wall that may or can be bylte , Whiche wall hath ben battred at that it was almoste spylte , And if this wall be not repayrde but fall styll in decaye The bandogs wyll breake in againe and driue the deare awaye . Thus hath this auncient whithed proued with argumentes moost stronge , That if this wall be not repayrde the parke cannot stande longe . Wherfore the buylders of this wall that haue take it in hande Haue sharpned all theyr tooles right wel to haue this buildinge stande . A Byll also sharped his edge to cut the brambles downe And to destroy the wicked wedes that were in hye renoume . Thus all these builders work right well for they haue begon the frame , And all that se theyr workmanship do much commend the same . They worke it artificiallye as men experte and wyse . For why they builde vpon the rocke and not vpon the yse . Who hath not sene , who hath not hard the doynges of these men , What paynes they take incessantlye to buylde this wall agen , To kepe the yonge fawnes from the fox and from the wolues and dogges . Leste that the parke be soylde agayne with swyne and fylthy hogges . Marke well the grist that grind all ground and ye shal vnderstande , That he is able well to buyld the thinge he taketh in hande . For he hath newly bete his quernes , wherfore it may be thought , That he intendes to grinde the grist that we full longe haue sought , But when the mighty Sampson cam that longe had ben away . He musled vp the bandogges mouthes that the had naught to saye . So that theyr fury is well cooled through Sampsons force and might For though they grin and loke awrye they haue no power to byte , For nowe the dere go quietlye within the pale and parke , And are nothinge afrayde to here the bandogs how they barke , There kepers nowe ar come agen that longe haue ben awaye , Wherfore the poore and simple Dere , are ioyfull of this daye , For when the Horne was heard of them which sounded like a bell , The Dere that knewe the same before dyd like it wery well . He blew his measures in such sort so truly and so trymme That all that hard the sound therof had much delight in him , Besides all these yet are there mo , whose diligence and payne , Do craue of vs etarnall prayse that lyue and do remayne , Leuer and Sandes , for so they hyght whose godly hartes and wyll Are wholy bent vnto the truth and to confute the yll , So are these two that yet remayne , as it hath well bene sene , How learnedly they speake their mindes before our noble Quene . Pedder and Wyntrel , these are they whose memory and fame Shal be reuiued , when they are dead their actes deserue the same , For these and for the rest of them let vs geue thankes to God , whose mercy towardes vs is suche , that he hath broke the rod , O Lorde be holde thy labourers and now put to thy hande , To buylde thy holy Temple vp that it may euer stande . Dryue out the ydle men therof ye dryue them cleane awaye Whiche long haue sought the spoile of it to bringe it to decaye . To whome let vs left vp our hartes at morow and at euen , That it wyll please him to preserue Elisabeth our quene , Long to endure amongest vs here and to possesse her place , And afterwardes to Ioye with him when she hath runne her race . Finis God saue the quene ,

Imprinted at London , for Wyllyam Pickering dwellind at Saint Magnus Corner .
