The Ioyfull mother brings forth manie faire yssues,
the learned lawyer brings his cause to good yssues,
the skilld Phisition makes for goute runninge yssues,
the faulting Iuror is amerc'd in much yssues;
the large expences are counted needles yssues;
but yet, of all the yssues wee haue in anie kinde,
none is more badd then yssuing from our land, wee finde,
for soe our witt and wealth from vs soone yssues then,
which lost and brought to naught, w'are scorned of all menn:
Such yssue they obteyne, their birth right which doe sell,
on which yssue the verdit hath condempned mee right well.
