Ad Rithmum.
[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

March forth, and boldly march, my tel troth rimes,
Disclose the lewdnesse of these looser times;
Fear not the frowne of grim authority,
Or stab of truth-abhorring villanie;
Fear not the olde accustomèd reward,
A loathsome prison still for truth preparde;
Though many hundred (Argus hundred) eyes,
View, and review, each line, each word, as spies,
3

Your meaning to entrap by wrong construction,
Vndaunted speake the truth; let not detraction
Apall your courage; spite of iniuries,
Tell to the world her base enormities.
