Ha dog, ha brazen face (good Sem and Iaphet said,
And with a clowdie brow iust discontent bewraid)
Ha monster vile, vnkinde, vnworthy of this light;
Thou shouldst thy selfe alone, though we were out of sight
Cast on thy mantle, or hide with silence at the least
Thy fathers fault, that, once in all his life, opprest
With griefe, wine, age, hath fal'n; and dost thou make a game
To bring his hoary head first on the stage of shame?

Thy fathers fault, that, once in all his life, opprest
With griefe, wine, age, hath fal'n; and dost thou make a game
To bring his hoary head first on the stage of shame?
