A Theefe, condemn'd to dye, to execution lead: His wofull mother did beholde, for sorowe almoste dead. And whilst she kiss'd her sonne, whome she did tender deare: The towarde childe did kisse with teeth? and off her nose did teare? Whereat, the standers by exclaymed at his acte: Then quoth the theefe, my masters marke, I will defend the facte. My mother, in my youthe, did with my faults dispence: And euermore did like me best, when I did most offence. So that, she was the cause that made me doe amisse: For if shee had correction vs'de, I had not come to this. Wherefore, I did reuenge my wronge, in what I mighte: In hope my facte shall mothers warne, that doe behould this sighte. For if the Children steale, and come vnto the rope: It often is the parentes faulte, for giuing them such scope.
