Sonnet 33.
[Is't not an endless scandall to our dayes]
Is't not an endless scandall to our dayes(If possible our heirs can credit it)
That th'holy name of Peace, so worthy praise,
Hath been our Watch-word for a fault vnfit?
That the pure Lilly, our owne natiue flower,
Hath been an odious obiect in our eyes?
That kingly Name, and Kings heav'n-stablisht power,
Hath been with vs a marke of trecheries?
T'haue banisht hence the godly and the wise,
Whose sound direction kept the State from danger;
Yea, made their bodies bloody Sacrifice?
And (to conclude) seeking to serue a Stranger,
T'haue stabd our owne? but (O Muse) keep that in:
The fault's so foul, to speak it were a sinne.
