[A hatefull cure with hate to heale]
A hatefull
cure with hate to heale:
A blooddy helpe with blood to save:
A foolish thing with fooles to deale:
Let him be bold that bobs will have.
But who by meanes of wisdome hie
Hath sav'd his charge? it is even I.
A blooddy helpe with blood to save:
A foolish thing with fooles to deale:
Let him be bold that bobs will have.
But who by meanes of wisdome hie
Hath sav'd his charge? it is even I.
Let other deck their pride with skarres,
And of their wounds make brave lame showes:
First let them die, then passe the starres,
When rotten Fame will tell their blowes.
But eye from blade, and eare from crie:
Who hath sav'd all? it is even I.
And of their wounds make brave lame showes:
First let them die, then passe the starres,
When rotten Fame will tell their blowes.
But eye from blade, and eare from crie:
Who hath sav'd all? it is even I.
