39 AN EPIGRAM TO RADCLIFFE

My Ratclif, when they rechlesse youth offendes,
Receue thy scourge by others chastisement.
For such callyng, when it workes none amendes,
Then plagues are sent without aduertisement.
Yet Salomon sayd, the wronged shall recure;
But Wiat said true, the skarre doth aye endure.
