SIR
,
the
Loue
(
which
your
immortall
Ariosto
tels
to
the
world
)
that
you
really
beare
to
Diuine
,
(
but
now
Poore
and
Contemned
)
Poesie
,
hath
a
long
time
made
me
an
Honorer
of
those
bright
ascending
Vertues
in
you
,
which
those
Holy
and
Pure
Flames
of
Her
haue
kindled
in
your
bosome
.
Happy
you
are
by
Birth
,
Happy
,
by
your
bringing
vp
,
but
most
happy
in
that
the
Muses
were
your
Nurses
,
to
whome
you
haue
beene
so
tender
,
that
they
make
you
an
Elder
sonne
and
Heyre
of
their
Goodliest
Possessions
.
So
that
your
Loue
to
Them
,
hath
drawne
from
Others
,
an
Honourable
Loue
and
Regarde
of
you
.
The
Path
which
True
Noblenesse
had
wont
(
and
ought
)
to
tread
,
lyes
directly
before
you
:
you
haue
beene
euer
,
and
are
now
in
the
way
,
which
emboldens
me
to
presume
,
that
as
our
Greatest
Commanders
will
not
disdaine
to
instruct
euen
Fresh-water
souldiers
in
the
Schoole-poynts
of
war
,
so
(
out
of
your
Noble
disposition
)
you
will
vouchsafe
to
viewe
the
labours
of
so
dull
a
Pen
,
as
This
that
writes
,
vnto
you
.
Two
Citties
haue
I
summoned
to
a
Parley
,
and
of
their
great
Enter-view
haue
I
chosen
you
to
be
Arbiter
.
It
is
Boldnes
in
me
,
I
confesse
,
but
it
is
the
Boldnes
,
of
my
Loue
,
referring
which
(
and
my selfe
)
to
your
worthy
Censure
,
I
Rest.

How
glad
am
I
(
O
London
)
that
wee
two
are
met
together
?
For
now
will
I
poure
my
sorrows
into
thy
bosome
.
Thou
art
Reuerend
for
thy
Age
,
(
as
béeing
now
,
two
thousand
seauen
hundred
and
fouretéene
yeares
old
,
which
is
more
then
my selfe
,

by

)
for
I
am
but
one
thousand
,
one
hundred
,
and
tenne
yeares
of
age
.
)
Thou
art
Grandam
almost
to
this
whole
Kingdome
:
Kinges
in
Brittaine
since
Brute
.
A
blessed
Mother
thou
art
,
for
no
lesse
then
one
hundred
and
thréescore
Emperours
,
Kinges
,
and
Queens
,
hast
thou
borne
in
thy
Wombe
.
Healthfull
thou
art
of
body
,
it
appeareth
by
thy
strength
in
holding
out
so
long
;
pure
thou
art
of
complexion
;
It
is
séene
by
thy
Chéekes
,
the
Roofes
of
them
are
nothing
wythered
:
Rich
thou
art
in
the
treasure
of
all
thinges
,
witnesse
the
number
of
Nations
,
that
for
thy
substaunce
,
are
thy
dayly
suitors
:
stored
are
thy
breastes
with
wisedome
,
and
the
glory
thereof
shines
in
the
gouernment
of
thy
Rulers
.
Thou
art
full
of
pollicy
,
great
with
experience
,
renowned
for
Learning
;
Thou
art
full
of
loue
full
of
pitty
,
full
of
piety
:
yea
,
thou
art
(
O
Noblest
Daughter
of
Brutus
)
my
Eldest
Sister
;
thou
rather
(
if
our
descents
bee
well
looked
into
)
art
my
Mother
.
Unto
whom
therefore
can
my
condolements
better
come
than
to
thée
.
Upon
whose
lap
shall
I
lay
my
aking
temples
if
not
vpon
thine
?
One
eye
of
Heauen
lookes
downe
vpon
vs
both
;
one
and
the
same
handfull
of
earth
,
serues
vs
both
to
dwell
vppon
:
The
teares
that
fall
from
both
our
eyes
,
make
vp
one
Riuer
,
and
that
Riuer
serues
againe
for
both
our
bodyes
to
bath
in
.
Since
therefore
wee
are
partners
in
all
other
thinges
,
why
should
wee
not
be
Sharers
in
our
mothers
affliction
!
Thou
standest
silent
,
I
sée
at
these
my
spéeches
,
as
beeing
driuen
into
wonder
,
why
I
(
that
haue
alwayes
kept
company
with
the
proudest
,
and
beene
euer
Iocond
)
should
now
sinke
downe
into
any
kinde
of
complayninges
.
But
to
kéepe
thée
(
O
my
best
and
fayrest
Neighbour
)
from
tormenting
thy selfe
with
thinking
on
the
causes
of
this
my
grieuing
:
let
mée
tell
thée
(
thou
Nurse
to
many
thousandes
of
people
)
that
I
doe
not
pine
,
to
see
that
Auncient

(
as
if

Male-factor

and
hadde
beene
tortured
on
the
Germaine
Whéele
:
)
his
Reuerend
Head
cut

the
cruelty
of

;
The
Ribbes

and

ready
to
bee
pulled
from
vnder
his
feete
,
so
that
with
gréefe
his
very
heart
séemes
to
be
broken
.
I
confesse
(
thou
brauest
of
Citties
)
that
this
Graund-Childe
of
mine
,
hath
beene
the
tallest
and
hardiest
of
all
the
Sonnes
of
my
body
:
An
Encomion
of
Charing
Crosse.
for
thou
knowest
it
aswell
as
I
,
that
hee
hath
borne
himselfe
valiantly
,
(
and
without
shrinking
)
in
many
a
storme
.
Many
a
tempest
hath
beene
flung
from
Heauen
to
shake
him
,
yet
still
hath
hee
kept
his
owne
footing
.
Many
astounding
blow
hath
he
taken
on
his
head
,
yet
for
a
long
time
did
he
beare
them
without
réeling
.
So
well
beloued
hath
hee
beene
amongst
the
Kinges
and
Princes
of
this
Nation
,
that
they
would
almost
neuer
passe
,
to
these
Royall
Pallaces
where
I
inhabit
,
and
neuer
repayre
to
their
Houses
of
Parliaments
,
or
to
their
places
of
Kingly
Tryumphes
,
but
they
would
of
purpose
take
their
way
by
him
:
yea
,
so
greatly
hath
hee
in
times
past
beene
helde
in
honour
,
that
the
knees
of
common
people
hath
beene
bowed
before
him
,
and
the
bare
heades
of
the
greatest
Prelates
héertofore
haue
shewed
to
him
a
kinde
of
reuerence
.
Yet
it
is
not
for
his
sake
(
O
farre
renowed
Troynouant
)
that
my
Soule
liues
in
sorrow
:
albeit
,
I
see
him
now
laughed
at
●nd
contemned
.
Neither
am
I
afflicted
by
beholding
the
vnrulynesse
of
those
Children
that
are
vnder
my
kéeping
.
The
sinnes
of
Westminster●
.
It
were
a
madnesse
in
mee
to
trette
at
theyr
wickednesse
,
because
no
sorrow
of
mine
can
amend
it
.
I
know
it
,
and
am
ashamed
to
tell
thée
,
Vpsie
freeze
will
they
dare
him
,
and
beat
him
with
wine-pots
till
hée
be
dead
drunke
.
But
I
feare
(
O
London
)
that
by
dwelling
so
near
thée
thou
hast
infe●ted
my
houses
with
these
two
plagues
,
that
now
run
ouer
all
the
Kingdome
:
for
all
the
world
knowes
that
euen
thy
shop-kéepers
and
poorest
Tradesmen
lay
by
their
owne
occupations
,
and
fall
to
these
.
Enuy
.
Extortion
.
Enuy
goes
vp
and
downe
with
the
Begger
,
féeding
vpon
Snakes
.
Rents
are
layde
vpon
the
racke
(
euen
my
own
sight
)
and
by
my
own
Children
that
I
haue
borne
,
whilst
Conscience
goes
like
a
foole
in
pyed
colours
,
the
skin
of
her
body
hanging
so
loose
,
that
like
an
Oxford
Gloue
,
thou
wouldst
swear
there
wer
a
false
skin
within
her
.
Great
Brittaine
,
thy
Princes
call
thée
Their
Treasurer
and
thou
art
so
.
But
more
peeces
of
Siluer
and
Gold
passe
not
through
thy
fingers
,
then
oathes
from
the
mouthes
of
my
inhabitants
.
Thou
art
held
to
be
(
O
London
)
the
lowdest
swearer
in
the
kingdome
,
because
(
some
say
)
thou
hast
whole
shoppes
and
Ware-houses
filled
with
oathes
yet
I
feare
,
Knights
of
the
Posl
.
for
I
am
haunted
with
some
that
are
called
Knights
onely
for
their
swearing
.
Ranckely
doe
these
and
other
stinking
wéedes
grow
vp
in
my
walkes
,
and
in
my
Gardens
,
the
sauours
of
them
are
Pestilent
to
my
Nosthrils
,
and
are
able
to
kill
me
,
yet
much
good
wholesome
fruits
do
I
féed
vpon
,
that
are
to
my
life
a
preseruation
.
So
,
that
for
the
aches
that
these
diseases
bréed
in
my
bones
I
doe
not
languish
neyther
.
Thou
knowest
and
I
confesse
it
,
The
building
of
Westminster
and
London
compared
.
(
for
if
I
should
not
,
the
whole
world
would
swear
it
)
that
thou
possessest
the
more
,
but
I
the
more
goodly
buildings
:
thy
hauses
are
contryued
for
thrist
and
profitable
vses
,
mine
for
state
and
pleasure
:
thou
dwe
lest
vnder
plaine
roofes
,
I
within
royall
Pallaces
:
euery
roome
that
thou
lodgest
in
,
is
but
called
a
Chamber
,
and
euery
Chamber
I
sleepe
in
,
is
a
Kinges
Court
:
In
thine
Armes
lie
the
sonnes
of
England
to
suck
wealth
,
but
in
my
lap
sit
the
Princes
of
England
to
be
Crowned
,
In
my
bosome
doe
they
slumber
whilest
they
liue
,
and
when
they
dye
,
they
desire
to
bee
buried
betwéene
my
breasts
.
To
testifie
this
,
all
the
annoyted
kinges
and
Queenes
,
(
except
one
,
who
receiued
his
Crowne
at
Glocester
)
with
all
the
Wiues
of
those
kinges
,
that
haue
raigned
heere
since
that
Norman
Conqueror
,
would
if
they
were
now
liuing
speake
on
my
side
in
that
behalfe
,
for
the
full
number
of
21.
Kinges
and
two
Quéens
(
being
a
payre
of
Sisters
)
haue
receiued
the
glorious
Titles
of
Maiestie
,
Kings
and
two
Queenes
besides
the
wiues
of
those
Kinges
haue
bin
crowned
at
Westminst.
and
were
seen
the
very
first
day
of
their
sitting
on
the
English
throne
onely
at
my
hands
,
and
in
my
presence
,
of
which
that
conquerour
,
and
Matilda
(
his
wife
)
had
the
honour
to
begin
,
for
till
hys
time
,
other
places
wer
made
happy
by
that
dignity
,
as
Kingston
,
&c.
which
then
were
farre
aboue
me
,
but
now
can
no
way
be
my
equall
.
William
conquerour
,
and
his
Wife
the
first
that
were
crowned
in
Westminster
.
To
proue
how
much
the
Rulers
of
this
Monarchy
haue
loued
mee
euen
on
their
Death-beds
,
their
bodies
which
they
haue
(
as
their
richest
Legacies
)
bequethed
to
my
kéeping
,
are
royall
witnesses
.
I
can
shew
thee
(
O
thou
Noblest
of
thy
Nation
)
the
bones
not
onely
of
most
of
those
kinges
before-named
,
but
of
some
that
liued
here
long
before
them
.
But
because
the
Graue
is
the
vtter
destroyer
of
al
beauty
,
yea
and
so
defaceth
the
lookes
and
the
bodies
euen
of
the
goodliest
princes
,
that
men
abhorre
to
behold
them
:
also
for
that
it
is
helde
an
acte
most
impious
,
and
full
of
Sacriledge
to
offer
violence
to
the
deade
,
I
will
onely
giue
thee

Daughter

Anne
brought
vp
the
fashion
for
women
to
ride
in

Saddles
,
which
till
her
time
rode
as

Then
that

Henry

to
doe
honor
to
whose
victorious
and
dreaded
name
,
Katherine
his

and

to
the
King

,
caused

all
gilded

not

the

is
now
broke
off

&

stoln

That
royall
Quéene
and
Bedfellow
of

was
with

so
does
Elizabeth

So

if

Thus
(
besides

too

in

but
that
their

worke
such

(

that
I

with

Bee

if
I
,
beeing
accustomed
to
this
fulnesse
of

,
and
this
variety
of
pleasures
,
haue
not
good
cause
to
languishe
when
I
am
depriued
of
them
all
.
The
more
princely
are
my
guests
,
the
more
insufferable
,
and
more
to
be
pittied
are
my
passions
,
spent
for
their
absence
.
Well
was
it
for
thée
(
thou
Metropolis
of

world
)
that
the
honours
,
the
Habits
,
the
Tryumphes
,
the
gifts
of
Kinges
,
and
the
Reuennewes
that
belong
to
my

,
are
not
made
Thine
:
thou
swellest
in
thy
heart
enough
already
,
but
then
wouldst
thou
haue
bin
too
proud
and
insolent
.
How
therefore
can
I
choose
but
buffet
my

through
the
anguish
of
my

Teare

But
(

when

(
casting

me

Nay

so
déere
doe
I
make
them

Foure
Golden

Whilest

I

my

Then
doe
my

Then
dare
they
talke

Then

at

,
I
verily
beléeue
I
dwell
in
a
Towne
of
Warre
.
Going
to
law
compared
to
going
to
war
.
For
euery
morning
do
the
men
of
law
march
to
the
Hall
,
as
it
were
to
the
fielde
:
The
Counsellore
are
the
Leaders
,
Atturnies
and
Clarkes
,
are
petty
Commaunders
,
and
Officers
of
the
band
:
the
trayned
old
Weather-beaten
Souldiers
,
are
those
that
haue
followed
the
Law
a
long
time
,
and
haue
vndoone
themselues
by
brabblinges
.
The
raw
,
fresh-water-Souldiers
,
are
such
as
entered
but
yesterday
into
the
action
.
In
which
March
of
theirs
,
if
you
fall
but
in
amongst
the
Rankes
,
you
will
by
and
by
suppose
your selfe
in
the
Low-Countries
;
for
as
the
Souldiers
(
there
)
so
these
(
here
)
talk
of
nothing
but
Stratagems
and
poyntes
of
War.
Some
threaten
to
ouerthrow
their
aduersaries
,
vpon
assaults
and
Battryes
:
Some
(
as
if
an
enemy
were
to
be
blown
vp
in
a
Towne
)
sweare
to
driue
them
out
of
their
houses
by
way
of
Eiectments
:
Others
,
as
if
they
came
to
the
sacking
of
a
Citty
,
cry
out
vpon
nothing
but
Attachments
,
both
of
goodes
and
body
.
And
as
among
Soaldiers
,
some
delight
in
bloud
more
then
others
,
so
amongst
these
,
some
take
a
pryde
in
crueltie
more
then
others
,
and
labour
onely
to
haue
their
Enemies
in
Execution
.
At
the
length
,
they
come
into
the
fielde
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
to
the
Barre
)
where
they
must
trie
the
quarrell
by
Arbiterment
of
wordes
in
stead
of
swords
:
for
there
either
the
one
side
or
other
is
ouerthrown
:
There
stand
the
Pikemen
(
that
is
to
say
,
such
as
haue
had
long
sutes
)
and
being
wearyed
,
They
that
haue
had
long
sutes
are
like
Pike-men
,
Chancery-men
like
Bill-men
.
care
not
almost
which
end
goes
forward
,
because
they
are
at
a
stand
,
The
Bill-men
hard
by
them
,
but
they
for
the
most
part
are
euer
complayning
.
And
thus
(
thou
Minion
of
so
many
Kinges
)
doth
this
stirring
vp
and
downe
of
my
body
,
stirre
vppe
my
bloud
,
and
kéepes
mee
sound
:
this
peopling
of
my
stréets
,
makes
me
to
be
crowned
with
the
title
,
dignity
,
and
liberties
of
a
Cittie
,
(
for
what
are
Citties
if
they
be
not
peopled
:
)
this
Phisick
(
so
long
as
I
take
it
)
preserues
my
body
in
health
:
But
because
I
am
compelled
sometimes
to
giue
it
ouer
,
(
which
is
commonly
in
Haruest
,
The
hurt
that
vacations
doe
to
Westminster
.
and
now
a
little
at
the
beginning
of
the
fall
of
the
lease
,
(
for
this
part
of
the
yeare
doth
most
trouble
mee
)
I
féele
the
state
of
my
body
weake
,
and
subiect
to
infirmities
.
For
alasse
there
are
certaine
Canker-Wormes
(
called
Uacations
)
that
destroy
the
Trées
of
my
Inhabitants
,
so
soone
as
euer
they
beare
any
fruite
.
These
Uacations
are
to
mine
owne
body
,
like
long
and
wasting
consumptions
,
they
are
more
grieuous
to
my
remembrance
,
then
the
comming
on
of
a
tedious
night
to
a
man
tormented
with
sicknes
:
or
then
marriages
delaied
,
to
them
that
lie
sighing
for
the
delights
thereof
.
The
vnwholesome
breath
of
Autumne
,
who
is
so
full
of
diseases
,
that
his
very
blowing
vppon
trées
,
makes
theyr
leaus
to
fal
off
(
as
the
French
Razor
shaues
off
the
haire
of
many
of
thy
Suburbians
,
)
euen
that
,
and
all
the
foure
Maister-windes
that
kéepe
such
a
blustring
in
the
world
,
do
not
more
scatter
the
dust
of
the
Earth
,
then
the
cold
blastes
of
foure
Uacations
,
doe
blow
abroad
the
wealth
that
before
I
haue
gotten
together
.
In
the
Tearme
times
euery
day
to
me
is
a
day
of
feasting
,
but
euery
Uacation
starues
me
with
ill
dyet
,
for
all
the
daies
of
them
are
to
me
nothing
but
fasting
daies
.
Yea
,
the
Dog-dayes
are
not
halfe
so
vnwholesome
,
so
pestilent
&
so
perilous
to
the
bodyes
of
men
,
as
those
are
to
mee
.
The
Tearmes
are
my
flowings
,
the
Uacations
my
ebbinges
.
So
that
(
if
I
were
sure
the
world
would
not
hold
mee
for
a
miserable
and
couetous
wretch
)
I
could
euen
wish
,
that
these
battayles
of
the
law
,
were
fighting
all
the
yeare
long
.
It
were
as
much
glory
,
fame
,
and
preferment
for
mee
to
haue
it
so
,
as
it
is
for
the
Low
countries
,
to
be
all
the
year
vp
in
armes
.
And
tell
me
I
pray
,
(
thou
prouident
Mistris
ouer
so
many
families
)
tell
mee
in
thine
opinion
,
if
it
were
not
fit
to
haue
all
these
foure
Riuers
of
the
law
,
run
into
one
stream
,
without
any
stoppings
or
turnings
.
For
,
do
but
consider
what
voyage
a
man
is
to
make
when
he
sayes
,
I
must
goe
to
Law
:
It
is
a
Voyage
,
but
short
and
easie
to
finish
,
if
you
méete
with
an
honest
and
skilfull
Pilot
,
that
knowes
the
right
puttings
in
,
the
watering
places
,
and
the
Hauens
,
and
can
auoyd
the
Rockes
,
Gulfes
,
Créekes
,
&
quick-sands
that
lie
cleane
out
of
the
way
,
and
yet
many
a
thousand
do
desperately
runne
themselues
on
ground
,
and
suffer
Shipwracke
vppon
them
.
But
on
the
contrary
part
,
if
a
Man
sets
out
carelesly
,
not
taking
the
Counsell
of
men
experienced
in
those
Seas
,
though
he
be
neuer
so
well
furnished
,
neuer
so
well
manned
,
neuer
so
strong
in
heart
,
neuer
so
able
to
brooke
stormes
and
tempests
;
yet
let
him
bee
sure
to
be
tossed
from
coast
to
Coast
,
to
bee
driuen
forward
with
one
prosperous
gale
to
day
,
and
to
be
blown
thrée
times
further
backward
with
a
boistrous
breath
to
morrow
:
to
haue
his
Soule
afflicted
with
cares
,
and
his
heart
eaten
vppe
with
frettinges
,
and
in
the
end
to
finde
(
to
his
cost
)
that
he
had
beene
better
to
haue
vndertaken
a
Voyage
to
the
East
and
West
Indyes
:
and
sooner
hadde
he
made
his
returne
home
.
So
that
to
hoyst
vppe
Sayles
in
this
Ocean
of
Controuersies
,
and
to
méete
with
a
fortunate
and
faire
Ariuall
,
is
as
much
honor
,
as
to
go
to
Ierusalem
,
and
safely
to
come
back
againe
.
Praise
of
the
Law
.
The
Law
is
vnto
vs
,
as
the
heauens
are
ouer
our
heads
:
of
their
owne
Nature
they
are
cléere
,
gentle
,
and
readie
to
doe
good
to
man
:
they
giue
light
to
his
eyes
,
comfortable
Ayre
to
his
Spirits
,
warmth
to
reuiue
him
,
coolenesse
to
refresh
him
.
But
if
they
bee
troubled
by
brablings
and
vnruly
mindes
,
and
be
put
from
their
owne
smooth
and
euen
by
as
,
then
doe
they
plague
the
world
with
stormes
:
Then
doth
Thunder
shake
the
Rich
mans
building
,
lightning
burnes
vp
the
poore
mans
Corne
,
Haile-stones
beat
down
the
fruites
of
the
earth
,
and
all
Creatures
that
are
within
reach
of
their
fury
,
tremble
,
and
hide
their
heads
at
the
horrour
.
The
very
phrase
of
Going
to
Law
,
shewes
the
greatnes
,
Maiesty
,
and
state
of
Law
:
for
the
Law
comes
to
no
man
,
but
he
is
eyther
driuen
,
or
else
so
busie
of
himselfe
,
that
he
goes
to
it
.
The
Law
sléepes
continually
,
vnlesse
shee
bee
wakened
by
the
wronges
of
men
oppressed
,
or
by
the
turbulency
of
those
that
will
not
let
her
rest
:
for
the
first
sort
of
which
people
,
she
hath
a
payre
of
Balance
,
wherein
shee
wieghes
their
Innocence
,
and
the
Iniuries
of
others
▪
forcing
one
to
make
good
the
hurts
of
the
other
.
Against
the
second
,
she
drawes
a
sword
,
with
which
shee
both
strikes
them
that
break
hir
peace
,
and
defends
them
that
are
threatned
to
be
struck
wrongfully
.
He
that
Goe
,
therfore
to
Law
,
goes
before
a
personage
,
whose
browes
are
vnwrinckled
,
yet
full
of
Iudgement
;
whose
eyes
are
not
wandring
,
yet
turning
to
both
sides
;
whose
lips
are
sildome
opened
,
yet
what
they
pronounce
is
iust
;
whose
countenance
is
austere
,
yet
setled
in
vprightnesse
;
whose
hands
are
open
to
all
,
yet
neuer
filled
with
bribes
;
whose
heart
lies
hidden
,
yet
frée
from
corruption
.
And
what
man
would
not
desire
to
bee
hourly
conuersant
with
so
excellent
,
and
so
composed
a
creature
.
He
that

:
he
cannot
choose
but
proue
a
worthy
souldier
,
because
he
is
still
in

:
he
must
of
necessity
be
both
honest
and
pittifull
,
for
hee
measureth

Law
:
why
it
makes
a
man
watchfull
,
for
he
that
meddles
with
it
,
is
sure
neuer
to
sléepe
?
It
keeps
him
from
the
Irish
mans
disease
,
(
Lazynes
:
)
from
the
Dutch-mans
weakenesse
(
in
not
Bearing

from

that

of

,
that
hee
can
haue
no
leysure
nor
stomacke
,
to
the
Case
of

:
It
preserues
him
from
the
French
falling
sicknesse
,
yet
no
Stoues
in
Mosco●y
can
put
a
man
into
more
violent
sweates
.
And
last
of
all
,
it
kéepes
him
out
of
the
English-mans
su●●rites
,
for
his
wayting
at
his
Counsels
Chamber
so
runs
in
his

,
that
he
scarcely
allowes

O

an

Had

about

To

And
had

prouided

of

,
Thou

What
a
rare
inuention
therefore
was

and
Incke
,
A
Paradox
in
praise
of
a
Pen.
out
of
whom
(
as
streames
from
a
Fountaine
,
flow
all
these
wonders
?
How
much
beholden
are
men
to
his
witte
,
that
out
of
a
poore
Goose-quill
was
the
first
deuiser
of
so
strange
an
Instrument
as
a
Pen
,
which
carries
in
it
such
power
,
such
Conquest
,
such
terror
,
such
comfort
,
and
such
authority
,
that
euen
the
greatest
Subiects
in
kingdomes
are
glad
somtimes
to
be
beholden
to
it
,
and
as
often
to
tremble
when
it
is
but
held
vp
against
them
.
For
a
Pen
in
a
princes
hand
commaunds
with
as
ample
force
as
his
Scepter
,
It
giues
charters
to
citties
,
binds
leagues
of
Ammitie
with
forraign
Nations
.
with
it
doeth
he
giue
Pardons
for
life
,
or
the
heauy
doom
of
death
.
It
bestowes
honours
and
preferments
,
and
like
a
Trumpet
proclaimes
a
kinges
Liberality
.
Yea
,
of
such
Uertue
is
that
worke
which
a
princes
hand
doth
with
it
,
that
Actes
of
Parliament
cannot
giue
a
stronger
confirmation
.
In
the
hande
of
a
Iudge
,
it
is
as
dreadfull
as
his
voyce
,
for
it
either
saues
or
condemnes
,
pronounceth
freedome
or
imprisonment
.
In
the
handes
of
a
Spirituall
finger
,
it
sets
downe
notes
of
Musicke
,
which
to
heare
the
very
Angels
leape

forth
such
Diuine
Oracles
,
that
out
of
them

mortals
finde
meanes
to

.
Lastly
,
in
the
hand
of
a
good
Lawyer
,
a
Pen
is
the
common
sword
of
Iustice
,
and
doth
as
much
in
the
quarrell
of
the
poore
man
as
of
the
rich
:
with
it
,
doth
he
help
those
that
are
beaten
downe
by
oppression
,
and
liftes
them
vp
by
supplications
:
but
they
that
are
trespassers
against
the
sacred
Orders
of
equity
,
doeth
hee
with
that
Axe
onely
leade
into
Execution
.
In
the
handes
of
badde
and
vncon●●ionable
Lawyers
,
Pens
are
forkes
of

,
vpon
which
poore
Clients
are
tossed
from

,
till
they
bléede
to

yea
the

of

are
like
the
Beakes
of

,
(
who
so

glutie
their

)
care
not
from
whose

they
teare

.
How
many
thousandes
(
with
that
little
Engyne
alone
)
do
raise
vp
houses
to
their
posterity
,
whilest
the
Ignorant
prodigall
,
drownes
all
the
Acres
of
his
Auncestors
in
the
bottome
of
a
Wine-seller
,
or
buries
them
al
in
the
belly
of
a
Harlot
?
How
many
fly
higher
,
and
spread
a
more
Noble
wing
with
that
one
feather
,
then
those
Butter-flies
do
,
that
stare
vp
and
downe
in
the
eyes
of
a
kingdome
,
with
all
the
painted
feathers
of
their
riotous
pride
.
Is
it
not
pitty
then
(
O
thou
wisest
Censurer
of
worldly
matters
.
)
Is
it
not
great
pitty
,
that
an
Instrument
of
so
musicall
a

,
of
such
excellent
rarity
and
perfection
,
should
at

lie

be

It
is

It

and
I
know
for
all
thy

thou
subscribest
in

to
this
my

Thus

I

I

fashioned

consecrated

holy

vse

For
Ethelbert
(
that
good
King

was
the
first
that
gaue
entertainment
to

,
Iustus
,

were
sent

to
preach
the
Misteries

The
deuotion
of

men
,

caused
the

Fayth
to
fly

was
the

they
conuerted

And
euen
from

am
I
fallen

My
head
was
aduanced
with
the
loftiest
in

Kingdome
,
and
so
tender
a

had
the
heauens
ouer
it
,
that
it
was
taken
vp
and
layde
in
the
bosome
of

Clouds
.
My
aking
browes
rested
themselues
vpon
the

Chariot
of

,

the

of

(

stoode
on

stretched
my
body
to
the
length
,
)
touched
that
Celestiall
roofe

embossed
all
ouer
with

,
I
did
not
onely
ouer-looke
the
proudest
buildinges
in
thée

O

to
so

of

with
those
also
that

thy

But
mine

at

hadde
the

.
The
Marriner
then
called
mee

for
to
him
I
stood
as

him
safely

No

did
the

but
his
heart
leaped
for
ioy
,

the
wearisomnesse
of
his

seemed
to
go
from
him
,
because
he
knew
he
was
in

of
the
most
goodly
Cittie
which
he
loued
.
But
how
often
hath
this
glory
of

bin
Ec●lipsed
,

at
such
times

it
was
in

the

,
though
it
be
odious
to

yet
diddest
thou
séeme
to
haue
so
little
feeling
of
thine

infamy

that
thou
diddest
laugh
at
thy

and
wert
it
not

those
euilles
which
thou
thy selfe
confessest

But
I
verily
beléeue
,
that
in
this
peaceable
reigne
of
our
Princes
in
these
dayes
,
if
a
true
muster
were
taken
,
there
would
be
found
almost
as
many
Strumpets
as
would
bee
able
to
dare
the
Turke

(
with
all
his
Concubines
)
into
the
fielde
,
or
to
ouer-ranne
all

Lowe

,
and
to
spoyle

Act
of

that
know
not
their

of

Inglers

and
Players
,
doe
no

more
basely
prostitute
themselues
to
the
pelasures
of
euery
two-penny
drunken
Plebeian
,
than
doe
those
Quadrantariae
Me●etrices
,
the
Mercenary
Hackneies
that
stand
at
racke
and
manger
within
my
suburbes
.
As
Buls
and
Beares
are
for
small
pieces
of
Siluer
to
be
bayted
,
so
are
these
.
As
at
common
Outropes
,
when
housholds-stuffe
is
to
bee
sold
,
they
cry
Who
giues
more
.
So
stand
these
vppon
their
thresholdes
,
not
crying
Who
giues
more
,
(
only
)
but
Who
giues
any
thing
.
But
that
it
stands
not
with
the
Maiesty
of
our
state
,
nor
with
the
Lawes
of
our
Religion
,
It
were
as
good
,
nay
better
,
to
giue
fréedom
and
liberties
to
the
setting
vp
of
a
common
Stewes

as
heretofore
on

Banck
(
opposite

it
hath

In
those
dayes
Orders
were
established
to
kéepe
this
Sin
within
certaine
boundes
,
but
now
it
breakes
beyond
all
limits
.
It
was
then
enacted
by
a
parliament
(
at
which
thou
y●
hast
had
thy
voyce
in
so
many
Parliaments
wert

that

Orders
for

First
,
no
Stew-holder
,
or
his

was
to
compell
any

Woman

Fiftly
,
not
to
kéepe
any
single
woman
in
his
house
on
the

,
Officers

.
Sixtly
,
that
no
single
woman
should
be
detayned
in
any
such
house
against
her
wil
,
hauing
an
intent
to
forsake
that
course
of
life
.
Aswell
Pu●itane
as
Protestant
are
welcome
.
Seauenthly
,
that
no
Stew-ho●der
was
to
giue
entertainment
to
any
Woman
of
any
order
in
Religion
,
or
to
any
mans
wife
.
Now
they
work
like
Bakers
night
and
day
.
Eyghtly
,
that
no
Courtezan
was
to
receiue
hire
of
any
man
to
lye
with
him
,
but
she
was
to
lye
all
night
with
him
till
the
next
morning
.
Ninthly
,
that
no
man
was
to
be
drawne
by
violence
,
or
be
inticed
by
any
impudent
and
whorish
allurements
into
any
Stew-house

Tenthly

Lastly
,
That
no
Stew-holder
should
lodge
in
hys
house
any
Woman
that
had
the
daungerous
infirmity
of
burning
,
&c.
These
(
amongst
others
)
with
penalties
and
punishments
vppon
the
breath
of
any
one
of
them
,
were
the
ordinances
of
these
times
,
but
nowe
(
thankes
to
the
negligence
of
this
age
)
though
sharper
Lawes
doe
threaten
to
strike
,
this
sinne
,
yet
they
do
but
threaten
,
for
they
seldom
strike
,
or
if
they
strike
,
it
is
with
the
backe
of
the
sworde
of
Iustice
.
The
setting
vp
of
a
Whore-house
,
is
now
as
common
as
the
setting
vp
of
a
Trade
:
yea
,
and
it
goes
vnder
that
name
.
A
stocke
of
two
beds
and
foure
wenches
is
able
to
put
a
Lady
Pandaresse
into
present
practise
,
and
to
bring
them
into
reasonable
doings
.
In
these
shoppes
(
of
the
worlde
,
the
flesh
and
the
deuill
)
soules
are
set
to
sale
,
and
bodies
sent
to
shipwracke
:
men
and
women
as
familiarly
goe
into
a
chamber
to
damne
one
another
on
a
Feather-hedde
,
as
into
a
Tauerne
to
bee
merrie
with
wine
.
But
for
al
this
it
goes
vnder
the
name
of
The
sweet
sin
,
and
of
all
,
they
are
counted
Wenches
of
the
old
Religion
,
and
for
all
their
dancings
in
Tauernes
,
ryots
in
Suppers
,
and
ruffling
in
Taffities
,
yet
A
cloyster
of
such
Nunnes
standes
like
a
Spittle
,
for
euery
house
in
it
is
more
infectious
then
that
which
hath
a
Redde
Crosse
ouer
the
dore
.
Such
as
Smithfield
is
to
horses
,
such
is
a
House
of
these
Sisters
to
women
:
It
is
as
fatal
to
them
,
It
is
as
infamous

The
Bawds
Pettie
Bawds

are
the
Horse-coursers
that
bring
Iades
into
the
market
:
wher
they
swear
they
are
frée
from
diseases
,
when
they
haue
more
hanging
on
their
bones
then
are
in
a

Such
is
the
quality
of

such
the
property
of
Suburbe
Curtizans

In
briefe
,
their
beginning
is
brauery
,
their
end
beggery
,
their
life
is
detestable
,
&
death
(
for
the
most
part
)
damnable
.
Since
therfore
so
dangerous
a
Serpent
shootes
his
ranckling
stinges
into
both
our
bosomes
,
let
vs
not
(
as
desperate
of
our
owne
estates
)
open
our
brests
to
receiue
them
,
and
so
be
guilty
to
our
own
destruction
,
but
rather
prouide

to
resist
the
malice
of
her
poyson

assured
(
O
thou

ready
,

woorthy

that

walks
vp

down
in

houses

Vengeance

O

I

they
may

Chronicled

Thus
do
I
comfort
my selfe
by
repeating
ouer
the
blessings
bestowed
vpon
me
by
a
few
of
our
Princes
,
but
how
many
of
them
haue
feasted
,
banqueted
and
reuealed
with
thée
▪
And
yet
wouldst
thou
barre
any
of
them
from
taking
hys
pleasures
abroad
,
but
onely
in
thy
presence
.
Thou
arte
proude
,
and
takest
vpon
thée
to
stretch
forth
too
imperious
a
hand
.
Thou
art
contented
to
receiue
in
the
Golden
Haruest
,
but
loath
to
bee
shaken
with
the
breath
of
Autumne
.
Thou
likest
it
well
to
haue
a
Summer
all
the
yeare
,
but
dost
not
consider
,
that
Winter
is
as
wholesome
for
thy
body
.
This
shewes
thy
indiscretion
,
thy
improuidence
,
and
indulgence
of
thy selfe
,
to
bee
pampred
like
an
Epicure
.
Thou
art
gréedy
as
the
Sea
,
and
wouldest
deuoure
all
thinges
,
but
wouldst
part
from
nothing
:
thou
art
catching
as
●●re
,
so
thy self
mayst
be
fed
,
thou
carest
not
who
perish
.
Uncharitable
are
thy
wishes
,
immodest
are
thy
longings
,
and
most
vnconscionable
are
thy
aspyrings
,
and
most
vnneighborly
are
thy
fore-stallings
.
That
which
thou
wouldest
haue
done
,
is
not
(
I
graunt
)
against
all
Law
,
but
it
is
with
All
Law
,
for
thou
desirest
to
haue
men
go
to
Law
all
the
yeare
long
,
which
wish
of
thine
is
as
dishonest
as
if
it
were
to
haue
continuall
warres
,
and
continuall
wars
are
continual
Slaueries
:
It
is
as
if
thou
shouldest
wish
to
haue
an
euerlasting
thunder
,
for
what
are
pleadinges
of
causes
,
but
noise
without
ceasing
.
A
paradox
in
praise
of
Vacations
.
Thou
sayest
the
foure
Tearmes
are
vnto
thée
as
foure
great
Feasts
,
yet
doost
thou
in
bitternes
of
thy
sorrow
,
cry
out
vpon
foure
Vacations
:
wherein
thou
behauest
thy selfe
all
one
,
as
if
thou
shouldest
complain
,
because
thou
art
not
euery
houre
féeding
.
If
foure
Tearmes
should
be
without
tearme
and
neuer
come
to
an
end
,
those
feastes
which
they
incite
thée
to
,
would
be
to
their
incurable
surfeits
,
and
so
consequently
thy
destruction
.
If
the
sounde
of
Lawyers
tongues
were
but
one
whole
twelue
month
in
thine
eare
,
thou
thy selfe
wouldst
euen
loath
it
,
tho
it
were
vnto
thee
neuer
so
delicate
Musicke
.
Nothing
increaseth
in
vs
as
a
delight
in
any
pleasure
,
but
to
haue
that
pleasure
taken
away
for
a
time
.
But
that
the
night
offends
vs
with
darknes
,
we
should
grow
weary
of
the
day
.
So
that
foure
Vacations
(
if
thou
canst
rightly
make
vse
of
them
)
may
be
vnto
thée
as
4.
seueral

thy

Tables
.
So
goe
to
Law
(
I
confesse
)
is
necessary
in
a
Republike
;
So
is
it
to
haue
a
Plague
,
for
thereby
the
Superfluo●s
numbers
of
people
,
which
otherwise
(
if
they
increased
)
would
deuo●ure
one
another
,
are
swept
away
:
So
is
it
to
haue
War
,
for
the
Sword
cuts
off
those
idle
branches
that
steale
away
the
Sap
from
the
profitable
boughes
of
a
Kingdome
.
But
to
haue
a
Warre
without
end
,
or
a
Plague
without
mercy
,
is
the
vndoing
of
a
Realme
,
and
so
would
it
be
▪
if
men
were
euer
in
brablings
.
The
4.
Vacations
are
like
so
many
Soundings
of
Retreat
after
4.
Battailes
;
in
which
breathing-times
men
renew
their
courages
,
their
forces
,
and
their
manners
of
fight
:
where
(
else
)
the
Pleader
(
neuer
giuing
ouer
)
would
grow
too
rich
,
and
so
bee
enuied
,
and
the
clyent
euer
spending
,
would
be
made
a
Beager
,
and
so
gather
into
faction
.
Uaine
therefore
,
idle
,
sencelesse
,
shapelesse
,
and
of
no
validity
are
those
Encomiasticke
honors
,
with
which
thy
rhetoricall
cunning
hath
fethered
a
Pen
so
,
gaily
.
An
Idoll
hast
thou
made
of
it
,
Inuectiue
against
a
Pen.
whereas
in
the
true
nature
it
is
a
pyneon
puld
from
the
left
wing
of
the
deuill
.
A
Pen
!
The
inuention
of
that
,
and
of
Incke
hath
brought
as
many
curses
into
the
world
,
as
that
damnable
Witch-craft
of
the
Fryer
,
who
tore
open
the
bowels
of
Hell
,
to
find
those
murdering
engines
of
mankind
,
Guns
and
Powder
.
Both
these
are
alike
in
quality
,
in
mischiefe
:
yea
,
and
almost
in
fashion
;
The
Pen
is
the
Piece
that
shootes
,
Inck
is
the
powder
that
carries
,
and
Wordes
are
the
Bullets
that
kill
.
The
one
doth
onely
destroy
men
in
time
of
warre
,
the
other
consumes
men
,
both
in
warre
and
peace
.
The
one
batters
downe
Castles
,
the
other
barters
them
away
.
Cedant
Arma
Togae
,
let
G●ns
therefore
giue
place
to
Gownes
,
for
the
Pen
is
the
more
dangerous
weapon
to
run
vpon
.
Why
then
doost
thou
,
nay
,
howe
canst
thou
without
blushing
defend
a
cause
so
notoriously
badde
?
How
darest
thou
hang
a
Trée
so
barren
of
goodnesse
,
and
so
rancke
of
poyson
at
the
roote
,
with
so
many
Garlandes
of
prayses
?
Canst
thou
find
in
thy
heart
to
write
Ealogies
in
honour
of
that
deadly
double
pointed
Engine
,
that
hath
béen
the
confusion
of
so
many
thousands
?
Then
let
wreathes
of
Lawrell
Crowne
their
Temples
,
that
shall
sing
the
dishonorable
Acts
of
those
Swords
,
which
basely
haue
béen
inbrued
in
the
bowels
of
their
owne
Countrey
:
for
in
what
other
tryumphes
(
then
in
the
afflictions
of
men
)
are
these
warlike
Instruments
of
writing
imployed
?
One
dash
of
a
Pen
hath
often
beene
the
downefall
of
a
man
and
his
posterity
.
By
help
of
this
,
Wiues
practise
to
abuse
their
Husbands
,
by
the
Witch-craft
of
Amorous
passions
,
(
which
are
coniurd
out
of
a
Goose-quill
,
)
Louers
intice
young
wenches
to
folly
.
This
is
that
which
spreads
abroad
,
and
sowes
the
Séedes
of
Schismes
and
Heresies
.
This
is
that
,
which
marres
all
Learning
,
and
makes
it
contemptible
,
by
making
it
common
.
It
is
the
Weapon
of
a
Foole
,
and
oftentimes
his
braynes
drop
out
of
the
end
of
it
in
stead
of
Incke
.
It
is
a
sharpe
G●ade
that
prickes
our
young
Gentry
to
beggery
,
for
in
lesse
than
a
quarter
of
an
hower
,
(
with
a
Pen
)
doe
they
betray
all
the
Landes
and
liuings
purchased
by
their
progenitors
,
into
the
hands
of
Brokers
,
Scriueners
,
and
Usurers
.
What
forten
hand
hath
euer
béen
working
in
the
forge
of
Treason
(
for
the
deuastation
of
this
Kingdome
,
for
the
extirpation
of
the
Religion
in
it
,
or
for
the
murdering
of
our
Princes
)
But
Pennes
(
like
Hammers
on
an
Anuile
)
haue
continually
béene
beating
out
the
plottes
,
and
conueying
them
hither
to
bee
made
smooth
,
and
to
passe
currant
.
What
Libilles
against
Princes
,
against
Péeres
,
against
the
State
,
or
against
our
Magistrates
,
were
euer
(
like
pricking
Thornes
)
thrust
into
the
sides
of
this
Empire
,
to
make
it
bléed
,
The
wordes
were
these
,
E●u●rdam
nec●le●e
nolite
〈◊〉
bonu●●
est
.
of
which
a
Pen
was
not
guilty
?
This
,
by
leauing
a
word
vnpoynted
,
was
the
death
of
Edward
the
second
:
with
this
,
holding
it
but
in
his
hand
,
did
Richard
the
second
giue
away
all
the
royalties
belonging
to
a
Crowne
,
and
blotted
out
his
owne
name
for
euer
any
more
to
be
found
written
with
the
name
of
a
King
.
In
conclusion
,
the
Tragedie
of
so
many
of
our
Ancient
Nobility
,
were
neuer
acted
on
Scaffo●des
,
but
a
Pen
was
chiefe
Actor
in
their
deaths
and
downefals
.
So
then
you
may
perceiue
,
that
this
Rauens
bill
draweth
bloud
where
it
once
fastneth
:
The
Iawes
of
a
Toade
(
sweating
&
foaming
out
poyson
)
are
not
more
dangerous
than
a
Pen
being
filled
with
that
banefull
and
venomous
mixture
of
Gall
and
Copporas
.
Accursed
therefore
be
that
[

*
A
Goose.
Bird
,
out
of
whose
wing
,
so
pestilent
and
so
malitious
an
enemie
to
humane
creatures
is
taken
:
offensiue
to
the
stomacke
,
be
for
euer
the
meat
of
it
,
and
apt
to
engender
mortall
surfeits
,
sithence
so
small
a
part
of
it
(
as
a
Quill
,
)
hath
bred
from
the
beginning
,
and
(
til
the
dissolution
of
this
Vniuersall
Frame
)
will
be
the
cause
of
so
much
distemperature
in
the
body
of
the
Worlde
.
Which
mischiefe
that
worthy
Romaine
Captain

Brother
to
King
Lud
(
my
first
Founder
and
54
yéeres
before
the
King
,
both
of
Heauen
and

,
sent
his
Sonue
to
dwell
amongst

)
entred
this
Land
,
conquered
it
,
&
made
it
tributary
to
the
people
of
Rome
,
wisely
looking
into
,
and
obseruing
,
that
Princes
,
Rulers
,
and
Great
personages
,
must
of
necessity
(
being
bound
thereto
by
the
ceremony
of
their
birth
,
or
by
their
place
in
the
state
)
yéeld
sometime
to
that
,
which
otherwise
that
noblenes
of
their
owne
bloud
would
abhor
,
did
often
wish
that
he
could
not
know
how
to
handle
a
Pen.
And
that
Mirror
of
her
Sexe
,
both
for
magnanimity
of
minde
,
inuinciblenesse
of
Spirit
,
and
(
which
is
to
her
the
greatest
part
of
her
●ame
)
for
the
closing
vppe
of
so
long
a
raigne
,
with
so
full
and
so
grieuous
a
period
,
that
Goddesse
vpon
earth
whilest
she
liued
,
that
our
Good
Mistris
(
Eliza
)
when
shee
was
to
signe
any
warrant
for
the
death
of
any
Péere
,
would
passionately
(
yet
with
a
Spirit
equal
to
Cea●ars
)
say
thus
,
Would
to
God
wee
had
neuer
beene
taught
how
to
write
.
And
thus
(
O
thou
that
sittest
crowned
like
an
Empresse
)
withall
our
riches
and
fairest
Monuments
haue
I
discharged
the
Office
of
a
faithfull
surueior
,
by
telling
thée
what
part
of
thy
goodly
body
is
builded
too
high
,
wherein
my
Counsell
is
that
thou
shouldest
a
little
plucke
downe
thy
Pryde
And
in
what
other
part
thou
stan●est
too
low
,
where
I
could
wish
thée
to
raise
it
vp
to
a
more
noble
Eminence
.
I
haue
likewise
pointed
with
my
finger
,
at
al
those
Cracks
,
disioyntings
,
Flawes
,
and
Flyings
out
,
which
if
they
bee
not
repayred
,
are
able
in
time
to
shake
into
dust
a
Citty
greater
then
thy selfe
:
And
(
in
my
Reall
loue
to
thée
)
haue
I
scored
such
plaine
markes
vpon
thy
hidden
Ruines
,
which
(
like
Treacherous
Seruants
)
receiue
in
stormes
(
for
euer
to
vnd●
thée
)
that
if
in
any
fit
season
,
thou
vnderprop
them
,
and
take
down
whatsoeuer
is
amisse
,
thou
shalt
in
this
thy
old
age
growe
strong
and
lusty
againe
,
and
with
an
easie
Rest
saue
thy selfe
from
Falling
.
With
a
frée
and
vn-mercenary
voyce
,
haue
I
pleaded
for
thy
good
,
by
discouering
what
is
ill
in
thée
:
so
that
my
Lectures
of
Reprehention
may
serue
as
wholesom
Councell
.
Thou
canst
not
blame
me
for
opening
thy
woundes
,
and
searching
them
to
the
quick
,
sithence
thou
séest
I
spare
not
mine
owne
.
My
pils
perhaps
may
séeme
a
little
bitter
in
going
downe
,
but
in
the
working
thou
shalt
finde
them
as
comfortable
as
Restoratiues
.
Take
courage
therefore
to
thee
,
and
like
a
Prince
that
can
commaund
his
owne
affections
(
which
is
the
Noblest
Soueraignty
,
be
bold
not
onely
to
strike
off
those
sicke
and
infected
parts
,
about
the
body
of
the
Weale-publicke
,
whych
threaten
daunger
to
those
that
are
sounde
,
but
also
applie
thou
the
same
sharp
medicines
,
which
I
haue
ministred
to
thée
,
if
hereafter
(
as
I
often
féele
my self
)
thou
perceiuest
me
ready
or
subiect
to
fall
into
loathsome
diseases
.
We
are
now
both
of
vs
as
Buildings
belonging
to
one
Land
lorde
,
so
closely
ioyned
together
in
league
,
that
the
world
thinkes
it
a
thing
impossible
,
by
any
violence
,
vnlesse
we
fall
to
ciuill
discention
within
our selues
,
euer
to
be
seperated
:
our
handes
as
if
it
were
at
a
marriage
,
are
plighted
one
to
another
our
bodies
are
still
embracing
,
as
if
they
were
Twinnes
:
wee
are
growne
so
like
and
euerie
day
doe
more
and
more
so
resemble
each
other
that
many
who
neuer
knew
vs
before
,
woulde
sweare
that
we
were
all
One.
Sithence
then
we
are
held
to
be
so
,
let
vs
neuer
bee
taken
to
be
otherwise
.
But
as
sisters
do
,
if
the
one
féel
sorrow
let
the
other
mourne
,
if
the
one
bee
lifted
vp
to
honors
,
let
not
the
other
repine
.
And
as
stringes
to
an
instrument
,
tho
we
render
seuerall
soundes
,
yet
let
both
our
soundes
close
vp
in
swéet
concordant
Musicke
.
Arme
thy selfe
therefore
(
with
Mee
)
to
maintaine
that
Vnion
,
without
whych
Realmes
are
builded
vpon
sande
,
and
On
whych
they
are
stronger
then
if
they
stood
vpon
Rockes
.
And
because
al
Citties
were
bound
in
common
ciuility
,
in
pollicie
,
and
in
honour
to
maintaine
their
Names
,
their
Callings
,
their
Priuiledges
,
and
those
Ancient
houses
that
Spring
out
of
them
,
I
wil
in
thy
presence
Annatomize
my selfe
,
euen
from
head
to
foot
,
thou
shalt
know
euery
limbe
of
me
,
and
into
how
many
parts
my
bodie
is
deuided
.
My
birth
,
may
bringing
vp
,
and
my
rising
shall
bee
as
manifest
to
thy
vnderstanding
as
to
mine
,
because
by
the
wilfull
ignorance
of
those
that
ought
of
duety
to
preserue
my
credit
,
my
good
name
is
oftentimes
and
in
many
places
abused
&
taken
from
me
.
Neither
would
I
haue
thée
account
mee
insolent
,
vain-glorious
,
or
ambitious
,
in
erecting
these
Trophyes
of
Fame
to
my selfe
,
with
mine
owne
handes
:
for
vpon
them
shall
neither
be
ingrauen
the
Actes
of
my
sumptuous
Builders
,
(
whych
would
be
too
great
an
ostentation
)
nor
the
battels
which
my
Citizens
haue
oftentimes
fought
and
won
in
defence
of
my
liberties
,
which
(
more
to
my
glory
)
might
be
rehearsed
by
others
.
But
passing
ouer
the
Names
of
some
(
which
to
repeate
would
be
to
me
an
euerlasting
renown
)
.
Constantine
the
Emperor
Mawd
the
Empresse
,
and
Henry
son
to
Henry
2
born
in
London
.
As
to
boast
(
which
lawfully
&
without
the
blot
of
arrogance
I
could
doe
)
that
Constantine
the
Emperor
y●
builded
Constantinople
,
drew
his
breath
from
my
bosome
,
or
that
Maud
the
Empresse
,
did
honour
to
me
as
to
the
mother
that
gaue
her
life
,
or
that
King
Henry
(
son
to
Henry
2
,
)
was
begotten
in
my
womb
,
which
Hen●y
at
the
age
of
7.
years
was
maried
to
Marg.
(
the
French
kings
daughter
)
being
not
two
years
old
,
&
afterwards
with
her
in
the
life
time
of
his
father
,
were
crownd
at
Winch.
But
burying
this
glory
of
mine
(
to
be
forgotten
)
in
the
Graues
where
these
my
children
lye
(
now
consumed
to
nothing
)
I
will
onely
content
my selfe
(
&
it
is
but
a
poore
ambition
)
to
tell
thée
how
I
came
to
be
called
a
Citty
.
By
what
Names
London
from
time
to
time
hath
bin
called
,
and
how
it
came
to
bee
diuided
into
Wardes
.
OBserue
me
therfore
(
O
my
most
ingenious
Pupill
and
scorne
not
to
cal
me
thy
Tutor
)
for
I
must
heere
and
there
speake
of
some
matters
,
that
I
was
an
Eye-witnesse
to
,
long
before
thou
hadst
any
being
.
Kn●
them
(
because
time
)
who
alters
all
things
,
may
perhaps
heereafter
as
hee
hath
done
already
,
giue
me
some
other
new
vpstart
name
)
that
Brute
from
whom
I
tooke
my
byrth
,
after
had
broght
me
(
as
thou
séest
to
this
day
I
abide
)
close
to
the
Ryuer
of
Thames
,
The
Names
of
London
.
did
there
bestow
a
Name
on
me
,
&
called
me
Troynouant
or
Trinouant
,
and
sometimes
Trinobant
,
to
reuiue
(
in
me
)
the
memory
of
that
Citty
which
was
turned
into
Cinders
,
and
that
for
all
the
spight
of
those
Gods
who
hated
it
,
there
should
be
a
new
Troy
which
was
my selfe
.
That
was
the
style
by
which
I
was
knowne
,
for
the
space
of
more
than
one
thousand
years
,
and
then
Lud
chalenging
me
as
his
owne
,
tooke
away
none
of
my
dignities
,
but
as
women
marryed
to
great
persons
,
loose
theyr
old
names
,
so
did
I
mine
being
wedded
to
that
king
,
and
(
after
himselfe
)
was
crowned
with
the
Title
of
Laire-lud
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Citty
of
Lud
or
Ludstone
,
vpon
whych
some
nations

But
these
being
beaten
from

company
by
the
Danes
,
I
was
by
them
spoyled
of
all

prostituted
as
a
