A Concete to the former.

A base bread haggard that my chaunce doth light
with the Imperious eagle in her flight
and gainst all nature in her nest doth breed
and with the eagles food his yong ons feed:
shall this great grace alter the buzards mind,
I it must be for kitt will after kind;
havinge no name but given by the nurse
in basenes borne and now by basenes worse
for having stole A name from gentry,
pried is his coate by lawfull heraldrie
base hawtie pried did soe his kindred blott,
that in this fortune he himselfe forgott:
but Joues great bird doth laffe this kight to scorne
to se how priede his basenes had oerborne
and pluck his winges he shall not mount so highe
but fall into the cave of beggarye.
