Disobedient Children.

Children that most vndutifull doe liue,
Forgetting what the Law of God commaundes:
You that no reuerence to your parents giue,
But follow that which with your fancie stands,
That onely like the Prodigall, will spend,
But come not home (as he did) to amend.
You that propound your selues vnthriftie wayes,
And will not vnto sound aduise consent:
you that doe runne like Follies witles strayes,
Vntill some prison teach you to repent:
you that liue as you please, do what you list,
and admonition vtterly resist.
Ile Stabbe yee.
