Merciles Tyrants and Villaines.
Flint-harted cur most deuelish and despitefull,
Making a sport of enuious crewell deeds:
Tending to blood to whome it is delightfull,
To heare of any murther that exceeds.
Be it on aged man or tender child,
Thou thinkst it cannot be to straunge or vild.

Thy cheifest care is still for new deuises,
How to torment poore silly minded creatures:
Crauing thy mercy for such enterprises,
As be offensiue by their silly meatures.
Talke not to thee of mercy nor forgiuing,
For thou wilt pardon neuer a creature liuing.

Three yards of wire and whip-cord in a whip,

Your carcase from the shoulders to the heeles,
Ile whip your skinne till all your carcase dreeles.
