 | The Whipper of the Satyre his pennance in a white Sheete |  |
TO ALL IVDICIALL CENSVRERS.
Braue sp'rited Gentles, on whose comely frontThe Rose of fauour sits Maiesticall,
I bend the stubborne Atlas of sterne wroth:
But for the fau'rits of a bastard quill,
The instrument of a poore Beadles rage:
I greete them with a careles mindes resolue,
Trueth feares no touch, no dreades presumptions scourge;
Proud Tyrany by vsurpation
Cannot depose inuested Varitie:
Uaile Bonnet then insulting Tamberlayne;
At least a Monarch: if the Satyrs Whip
He must be carted then, for Pride must mount.
Marry and shall; but weele no Bazons tang:
Yes yes at any hand; Ile tell you why,
If all be whist, we shall want company.
Then Pride will faint: Oh haue a care to that,
It is no glory: Therefore a Doung-cart Ho'e,
To glut the world vvith greater admiration,
For thinges of vvorth feed all mens expectation.
But vvorthy Readers of my vvorthles Writ,
As Writers onely ayme to please the Wise,
So my endeuour is to lodge content
Within the closet of iudiciall hartes.
Iudge then aright, and vvith supposes helpe
Strengthen my imperfection, vvhere Art vvantes
Reason shall lend supply: imagin then
You see the Satyrs Whipper in his pride,
Drawne by an Infant of a Satyrist:
Who though he hath receiued many a ierke,
Read with what patience he susteynes that yoke:
But if you finde him out of order tripping,
Dispence with him that's subiect vnto whipping.
