A deafe eare, in a iust cause.
A poore man came vnto a Iudge & shew'd his wronged state,Entreating him for Iesus sake to be compassionate,
The wrōgs were great he did sustaine, he had no help at al
The Iudge sat stil as if the man had spoken to the wall.
With that came two rude fellows in, to haue a matter tride
About an Asse, that one had let the other for to ride:
Which Asse the owner found in field, as he by chance past by,
And he that hired him a sleepe did in the shadow lye.
For which he would be satisfied, his beast was but to ride:
And for the shadow of his Asse, he would be paid beside.
Great raging words, and damned other,
these two asse-wrangles swore,
Whē presently the Iudge start vp, that seem'd a sleep before
And heard ye follies willingly of these two sotush men,
But bad the poore man come againe, he had no leasure thē.
