And voyde of any Plantasee/

His
subtill Counsayle forth did flowe/
And sought both Good and Euell to knowe/
To becom like God in Might:
Now when the Man tooke-on this Deede/
Then brought he foorth his false Seede:
Playne-and-iust must dye then quight.

He liked well a lofty

And prudent/foe to enterpryse/

But then was he captiued the more,
With greeuous Bands and cumbers store/
He Selfues did prouyde.
Therin did he proceede and trust:
In Searching then ; with Longing; must,
Good-thinking be his Gyde.

Good-thinkings
Plague ; which I resyte;
Is altogether the Worlds Delyte/
The Trueth from her is taken:
Without Lamenting, still they liue/
And vnto Stryfe, themselues do giue/
The Peace, hath them forsaken.

Enuy euery-wheare,
Now the greatest Swaye doth beare/
Trueth must not speake nor moue:
Now raigneth Mocking and Deryding/
Persecuting, Slaundring, with Upbreyding:
But inuisible goeth the Loue.
