[O strong tyrant, traytour right treasonable]

O strong tyrant, traytour right treasonable,
Conuent of all contagious company:
Thy faded florishing is Fantasie fayleable,
Thou graue of guile, schoole of cupidity.
Father of falshood, nurse of iniquitie,
The changeable chaunce of thy foolish renovvne:
Oppressing the lust, placing euill men on hie,
Maketh many to loose an incorruptible crovvne.
