 | One and Thyrtye Epigrammes |  |
Of commune Liars
Solomon the sagein Sapience doeth saye
That the mouthe that lyeth
doeth the verye soule sleye
If the murderer of bodies
be worthye to dye
The murderer of soules
shoulde not escape, trowe I.
For as the Soule doeth
the bodye excell
So is his treaspace greater
that doeth the soule quell
But Lyars (alas)
are nowe muche set by,
in a maner necessarie
To be entertayned
of eche noble manne,
Who are muche delighted
wyth lyes nowe and than
But this delite will be sorowe
I feare me at the laste
Whan the liar for hys liynge
into paynes shall be caste
