[The Courte of Vertu | ||
Of Inhumanitie.
Of

And that he is both proude and insolent,
In stout disdeyn that wyll styll remayn mute.
To those that gently hym greete and salute.
And that he is both proude and insolent,
In stout disdeyn that wyll styll remayn mute.
To those that gently hym greete and salute.
Or yf that we should not agayne for our part,
Shew the ryght fruite of a gentyll heart,
To wyshe well to them that wyshe well to vs:
We might wel be thought beastly and barbarous.
