HEARE,
With bended arme, to measure all our waies,
A raine shee houldes, with in the other hande,
With biting bitte, where with the lewde shee staies:
And pulles them backe, when harme they doe intende,
Or when they take in wicked speeche delite,
And biddes them still beware for to offende,
And square theire deedes, in all thinges vnto righte:
But wicked Impes, that lewdlie runne their race,
Shee hales them backe, at lengthe to theire deface.
It nimbo succincta latus: sed candidia palam:
Sed radiata comam: ac stridentibus insonat alis.
Haec spes immodicas premit: haec infesta superbis
Imminet: huic celsas hominum contundere mentes,
Successusque datum: & nimios turbare paratus.
Quam veteres
& paulò pòst:
Improba vata domans: ac summis ima reuoluens
Miscet: & alternà nostros vice temperat actus, &c.
