Epig. 14 Ad Cordredum.

O impudent! a liuing! for whose sake?
This meanes to my Lord [OMITTED] dost thou make?
Fie; thus to beg thy selfe, One of rare parts
I am (my Lord) beside Maister of Arts,.

And: Go no further; thou art too short leg'd,
And beg no more, lest thou thy selfe be beg'd:
Yet (Cordred) thou shalt haue (do not despaire)
The Vicarage of Saint Fooles at Steeple faire.
