Against stepdames.

A striplyng went with scourge in hande,
Whereas the portrature did stande
Of stepdame his: in rage anone
He fell to beatyng of the stone.

75

The stone downe on hym tattereth,
And vnto death hym battereth:
Thou sonne in lawe take hede, and see
To stepdame thyne, though dead she bee.
