[Clownus would court it, nowe his countrye seate]

Clownus would court it, nowe his countrye seate
Hee halfe doth loathe, in cloathes hee groweth neate
Dust here mee Clowne for that life thart vnfitt
Thy want's a braine; whose there must want noe witt
Hee that would court-it, in the Court would thrive
Must sympathize in nature with these five
In youth hee must bee Ape and Monkey both
The Ape to Imytate what others doth
And like the Monkey hee in lust must burne:
Must stand readye; prick-on at eurye turne
The Foxes nature hee in age must haue:
Must plott. None riseth like your deepe-sculd knaue
Like more beastes yet hee must be: doe you heare?
He must turne Asse; great mēs greate loads must beare
must be an OX: must hugg who gives the horne
Tis noe disgrace for favours no we thare worne

Clowne, bee still a Clowne, whood chaunge maulie shape
To be an ox, fox, monkey, Asse or Ape?
