Of a Lion, that offended his keper.

A trustlesse beast, a Lion fearce,
with churlishe chappes did bite
And hurte his maister, whiche hym kept,
because he did hym smite.
But plaugde he was as he deserude,
for that his cruell parte,
For sith he strookes refusde with hande,
strooke deade he was with darte:
Now how should men whiche reason haue,
and rulers disobaie,
Be punishte, when we brutishe beastes,
for disobedience slaie.
