To the vnknowen Translater of Shaklockes verses.

Trāslator ye trāslates these things, what mening hath ye same?
Thou translates them: & they from the trāslate away thy name,
I smell thy popyshe malady, I know thou art not sounde,
I would so well I knew thy selfe, as well I know thy wound.

I am a rude Chirurgian perhaps I should ther strayne,
Fayn would I ease small ease to thee, to fele so great a payne.
I rubbe so rough, I ransacke depe, I cut vnto the core:
More healthfull for to haue my helpe, more easefull to be sore.
