To the senceles Censurer.
Rash Reader, read my booke, and when tis readDisdaynefullie through't o're thy muddy head
Thy condemnations peale a both sides ringe:
Rash men are priviledgd t'saie anie thing
And therefore (hare-braine) reade, criemewe dislike:
My spleene swells not when fooles with bables strike.
Pack hence precision: cry'st it is obsceane?
Diue deeper shallowe pate: knowe what I meane
Knowe what I meane? alas! what hope haue I?
Since carpers mindes haue but a pore blynd eye
Yet to prevent thy censures thus much knowe
Whollye this booke was made, follie to showe
And he which laies ope tymes abuse, and vice
Are sildome blam'd of men Iudicious wise:
At which I ay'md; and therefore duncepate hence
Or looke for lashes for thy rude offence.
William G.
