Against Sycophants and Parasits.
False Sycophant that wrongs the virteous name,
Proud Parasit thou poysons him that hear's thee:
And brings the absent to disgrace and shame,
Who neither cares for forged lies, nor fear's thee:
When Titan shyns we see the vermin swarme,
Thou dwel'st at court because thou know'st it's warm.
Proud Parasit thou poysons him that hear's thee:
And brings the absent to disgrace and shame,
Who neither cares for forged lies, nor fear's thee:
When Titan shyns we see the vermin swarme,
Thou dwel'st at court because thou know'st it's warm.
False flattering foole, thou art but friendships Ape,
Camelion-like thou changest every hew,
Saue white alone: thou loath's an honest shape.
As cheef companion of the cursed crew:
Proud Trencher flee thy pansh once fild, thou'ill goe
And proue to him that feeds thee best a foe.
Camelion-like thou changest every hew,
Saue white alone: thou loath's an honest shape.
As cheef companion of the cursed crew:
Proud Trencher flee thy pansh once fild, thou'ill goe
And proue to him that feeds thee best a foe.
