A CAPITE VSQ; AD CALCEM.
The State is cast; God doth beholdEyes blinde, eares deafe, tongues dumbe with cold.
Dayes care to get, gets nightly cares,
Which memorie foyles, and iudgment marrs.
The faint hearts (slowly beating) tells
Dull spirits in the slacke nerue dwells,
The Liuer boyles with lustfull blood,
Weake stomacke brookes no meat that's good.
Loose palsie makes the hands to tremble,
When they for loue shake, they dissemble.
The gowty knees doe stifly bend;
The feete walke slow to all good end.
The Doctor saith; Repent, fast, pray,
Die, or this diet take we may.
