Hauing well drunke, but Cham doth iest
His wicked sonne, and yet thinkes best

His wicked sonne, and yet thinkes best
to tell his brethren.

To couer him, turning their backe,
They ioyed not their father to make
A scorne to men,
To couer him, turning their backe,
They ioyed not their father to make
A scorne to men,
Their father knowing now awake,
VVhat his children had done for his sake,
To cursed life Cham he doth betake,
The other are blest.
VVhat his children had done for his sake,
To cursed life Cham he doth betake,
The other are blest.
Euen so their faults wee must passe by,
In parents stead which vs doe lye,
Prince, father, pastour to belye
wee must detest.
