HERODIAS AND SALOME.
Iohn Baptist
tolde drunke HEROD, hee defilde
His Soule, who kept his Brother PHILIPS Wife;
HERODIAS taught SALOME, her Childe,
To daunce, and rob the Prophet of his lyfe:
Thus twixt the Daughter, and the divelish Dame,
GODS servant dies, to HERODS lasting shame.
His Soule, who kept his Brother PHILIPS Wife;
HERODIAS taught SALOME, her Childe,
To daunce, and rob the Prophet of his lyfe:
Thus twixt the Daughter, and the divelish Dame,
GODS servant dies, to HERODS lasting shame.
But HERODS House was sack't, and swept away;
A sure Example to the comming Ages;
That such as hee, shall come to sad decay,
And reape of Lust, and Blood, the wofull Wages:
For crying sinnes, ere King and Countrey mourne,
Let HAMAN hang, let BAVDS and HARLOTS burne.
