If euer wofull man
 
Who iustly may reioyce
 
If right be rackt
 
The lyfe is long
 
In Grece somtime
 
Lyke as the lark
 
The lenger lyfe
 
To this my song
 
The plage is great
 
O euyll tonges
 
To walke on doubtfull ground
 
The restlesse rage
 
By fortune as I lay in bed
 
Phylida was a fayer mayde
 
Lo here the end of man
 
Who list to liue vpright
 
Vnto the liuyng Lord
 
Sythe singyng gladdeth
 
Fvll faire and white she is
 
What thing is that
 
It is no fire
 
Alas that euer death
 
Shall I thus euer long
 
The doutfull man
 
Sith that the way
 
A student at his boke
 
Who craftly castes to stere
 
I lent my loue to losse
 
Whe[n] dredful swelling seas
 
The winter with his griesly
 
In sekyng rest
 
Geue place you Ladies
 
Experience now doth shew
 
Thestilis a sely man
 
Nature that taught
 
Since thou my ring
 
For that a restles head
 
When Audley had runne out
 
Eche thing I se
 
My youthfull yeres are past
 
Behold my picture here
 
Bewaile with me all ye
 
I see there is no sort
 
When Cupide scaled first
 
I lothe that I did loue
 
To liue to dye
 
The smoky sighes
 
As Cypres tree that rent
 
The shinyng season
 
O temerous tauntres
 
O petrarke hed and prince
 
With petrarke to compare
 
Cruell and vnkind
 
If it were so that God
 
To loue, alas
 
In fredome was my fantasie
 
Among dame natures workes
 
To my mishap alas I fynde
 
Al you that frendship
 
Death and the kyng
 
Lyke as the brake
 
Svche grene to me
 
As I haue bene
 
The golden apple
 
Tho Cowerd oft
 
Though in the waxe
 
Thestilis thou sely man
 
Lyke as the rage of raine
 
At libertie I sit and see
 
I read how Troylus
 
Flee fro[m] the prese
 
Sins Mars first moued warre
 
The dolefull bell
 
For loue Appollo
 
Svch waiward waies
 
Girt in my giltlesse gowne
 
As Lawrell leaues
 
False may he be
 
I heard when Fame
 
I ne can close
 
Yet once againe my muse
 
Why fearest thou
 
The flickeryng fame
 
Who loues to liue in peace
 
Walkyng the pathe
 
From worldly wo
 
To false report
 
Lo here lieth G.
 
If that thy wicked wife
 
A man may liue
 
The vertue of Vlisses wife
 
Procryn that some tyme
 
Lyke the Phenix
 
To trust the fayned face

My Ratclif

Exhortacion to learne by others trouble.

D4r

My Ratclif, when thy rechlesse youth offendes:
Receue thy scourge by others chastisement.
For such callyng, when it workes none amendes:
Then plages are sent without aduertisement.
Yet Salomon sayd, the wronged shall recure:
But Wiat said true, the skarre doth aye endure.
