[A Hatefull Cry, with hate to heale]
A Hatefull Cry, with hate to heale,
A bloody help, with blood to save,
A foolish thinge, with fooles to deale:
Let hym bee boulde, that Bobbes will have.
But, who by meanes of wysdome hye:
Hathe saved his Charge? yt ys even I.
A bloody help, with blood to save,
A foolish thinge, with fooles to deale:
Let hym bee boulde, that Bobbes will have.
But, who by meanes of wysdome hye:
Hathe saved his Charge? yt ys even I.
Lett other deck theyre pryde with scarres,
And of theyre woundes make brave lame showes,
First lett them dye, then passe the starres,
When rotten fame will tell theyre Blowes.
But eye from blood, and eare frome Crye,
Who hathe saved all? It ys even I.
And of theyre woundes make brave lame showes,
First lett them dye, then passe the starres,
When rotten fame will tell theyre Blowes.
But eye from blood, and eare frome Crye,
Who hathe saved all? It ys even I.
