An Anagram vpon the Scullers Name.

Iohn Taylor, Anagramma. O Hate, rayle on.

O hate, rayle on; or this. Rayle on, O Hate:
For spight of Rayling, I must dedicate
An answere to thy Theame, though ne'r so large,
Will sink thy Scullers Boat, though 'twere a Barge,
To halter vp your Muse, my Muse beginnes;
I'l trusse the Iade for breaking peoples shinnes.
Then Monster doe thy worst, yerke out thy fill,
Thou canst not touch my goodnesse with thy ill:
Though Horses breake their Bridles, and escape,
My Lines shall load an Asse, or whippe an Ape.
