Dianiane dogge, with blinde furie inflamed,
fearinge the hurled stone which him offended,
with sharpe and threatning teeth whollie inraged,
doth bite the stone, on that to be revenged,
Iudginge noe other thinge but that dead stone,
of that his hurt, to bee the cause alone.

Iudginge noe other thinge but that dead stone,

which fonde revenge doth others mirth provoke,
vnto himself much greatur hurte increasinge,
for guiltlesse stone cann never feele the stroke,
allthough the dogg cease not his cruell bitinge.
wherbye wee learne, not rashe reveng to take,
of that which of it self noe hurt doth make;
ffor not the stone, but flinginge hande,
the iust revenge doth crave,
and actors, not the instruments,
due punishement should haue,
Since to our selves more further paynes
of greife wee shall procure,
yf rashe revenge, on guiltlesse cause,
wee striue to put in vre.
