Lowly minded.
Not surlie Pompous, scornfull foolish proud,
Though not of base house, stocke or parents sprung,
But lowly minded, meeke, and of a good
And kinde behauiour, with a gentle tongue.
Ready to bowe to mighty Potentates,
And humble to the poore and meaner states.
Though not of base house, stocke or parents sprung,
But lowly minded, meeke, and of a good
And kinde behauiour, with a gentle tongue.
Ready to bowe to mighty Potentates,
And humble to the poore and meaner states.
A worthy brother not to be abiected,
From the societie and godly knot,
(In heauens behalfe) of Iewrie here elected,
And now impannelled, hardly to be got.
Seeke all the world for twelue such other more,
Youl' neuer find them in the earthly store.

(In heauens behalfe) of Iewrie here elected,
And now impannelled, hardly to be got.
Seeke all the world for twelue such other more,
Youl' neuer find them in the earthly store.
Therefore to Court and councell let vs hie vs,
Their guilty persons shall be all brought in:
Like Iustice sword my whip shall here stand by vs,
To take sir Rogue and Rascall by the skinne,
Come knaues and wretched whores with all your traine
Ile lead you trench-more to another straine.

Come knaues and wretched whores with all your traine
Ile lead you trench-more to another straine.
Downe with your Triggens, ho me thinks you leap
Already round and capring on the toe:
How fine youl' iumpe when you behold my whip,
Ile cleach you soundly all before you go.
Ile teach you th'capers and the antick iumpes,
Put off your gaskins, quick, put on your pumpes.
