[A byshop met two Priests vpon the way]

A byshop met two Priests vpon the way,
And did salute them with the time of day:
Goodmorrow Clarkes, vnto you both (quoth he)
Sir (they reply'd) no Clarkes, but Priests are we.
Why said the Byshop, then I will consent,
Vnto the title of your owne content:
Since you deny to carry Scholers markes,
Goodmorrow to you Priests (that are no Clarks.)
