[By new broom]
By
new broom, ye may be sure, store is good, for they will not long endure.
The new broom sweepeth cleane, a prouerb old, that applyed is to such as heerafter shall be told.
The double diligent the seruant new: And the hote soner that dy'eth at first vew. The hote loue is
soon colde, as oft is seen, and the temp'rate fire doth make the sweetst malt, as wise do ween. The
frend at first that seems he will not change, inconstant, yet to prone, it is not strange. Thus my song
for to end, in plain words few, t'is not good to trust these three ouer much at the first shew.
Tho. VVhyt.
