reaported shame God knoweth who had the pylage The poore man but small aduauntage The Thefe his pleasure on mountayn hyll Yf he had money myght walke at his wyll ¶ Thus the slaunder ranne far abrode All most to our greate desolacion As thoughe we all had ben of one accorde No diuersitee in their opinion Suche was the rumoure and communicacioÌ„ No thyng reseruyng in their iudgement Betwene a Thefe and the Innocent ¶ And thus full ofte we bare the blame causeles of truethe nothyng offended Nor by consent worthy of infame Yet by report we were suspended As though we had therto intended Idelnesse was cause as in effecte Why we were had in suche respecte ¶ Oh thou vicious Sardanipall The beginnyng of slouthe and Idlenesse Whose example all welth dooth appall Delightyng in synne and wretchednesse With surfeites great the body to oppresse Whiche brought in thefte and robery Murder riote also aduoutry ¶ Who list the story to accompte Shall well perceiue in sloth and idlenesse 〈◊〉 other before the thou didst surmountâ—… Thy vicious life beâ—…th full witnesse She was thy lady and chiefe mastresse To whom thou didst thy self abounde Whiche was the cause thy person to coÌ„fouÌ„d ¶ For Arbachus of vertues respecte As a prince of excellent wisedome Did thee manace chastice and correcte For thy froward abhominacion Idlenesse was cause and occacion Why thou vicious Sardanapall From thyne estate had so greate a fall ¶ For like as verteous businesse Inuenteth thynges right laudable So doth riote and idlenesse Increase mischenes intollorable One thyng marke whiche is veritable Put idlenesse clene out of vâ—…e For custome all moste turneth to nature ¶ Note where idlenesse doth oft remayne Fare well all verteous businesse For idlenesse inflameth the brayne And bryngeth in newe fanglenesse Sequestrith the herte from all goodnesse And aldre last note this for euer God from man it doth cleane deceiuer ¶ Idlenes caused our abusion By idlenes increased our infame Till now of late by politicke reason Of our kyng moste gracious of name Whiche hath brought vs into a new frame So that we fele by worldly businesse There commâ—…th gayne and moderat richesse ¶ Thus hath our wise worthy Arbachus Suppressed our foly and customes rude Lausyng our hertes to be desirus To folowe the sage multitude Idlenes vtterly to 〈◊〉 Laboryng abrod our fode to gete Leuyng by our handes and

Tenderyng so muche our businesse That we forget the vice of idlenesse ¶ For where of truthe with vs late past Bothe corne and fruiâ—…e was scant and bare Our countree voyde laie halfe in wast I dare allege and surely declare Now at this tyme we maie well spare If there should chaunce a tyme of nede With corne and cattaile our neighbors feâ—… ¶ And thus daily we do preuaile In our increase bothe cataile and corne Thankes be to God all is quoche quaile The chaffe the wedes a waie are shorne Neuer so well sens we wer borne Our countree made playne and habitable Whiche semed before irrecurable ¶ And further of his benyng grace Through his moste mercifull assent Our commune welth for to purchace Hath remitted of pure intent Two thousande markes of yerely rent Before paied in siluer and golde Taxed emong vs of customes olde ¶ Yet hath our Troian most mighty emye Planted vs with prudent Latons roure â—…o be our president and gouernour Associate with noble Sipious With diuerse mo of high

Dictatours full famous of estate Decemusres wisedome to approbate â—…rauersyng the countries rounde aboute Where suspecte persones wer had moste in doubte ¶ To that intent our ciuility Wer not suppressed for lacke of gouernance Nether is inforced by tyrrany But redused to a Ciuile substance Accordyng to the vse and continuance Of Englishe lawes in tyme long past Wherof we bee now made sure and fast ¶ Thus charge vpon charge daily doth in Unto his grace in maner importable sewe Inuentyng lawes and statutes newe Gentill and softe by meane tretable To th entent it should bee pardurable Emong vs for euer this is the meane Uncorrupted to kepe vs pure and cleane ¶ Thus a kyng of vigilant respecte Sheweth vnto vs this constant loue As a father in this effecte Tenderyng his childe vice to remoue Without rigoure our foly doth reproue Caryng not for treasure or expence But to withdrawe the cause of our offence ¶ For to compare and brefe tâ—…e tyme Accompt all stories that euer was Inforce your self thereto to inclyne Rede where ye list your tyme to pas And ye shall not finde that euer there was A kyng of better remembrance His subiectes to kepe preserue and aduance ¶ Reken Lesar with his triumphes all Alexander Hectoâ—… or Achilles Edippus or worthy Haniball Minos the Iudges or greate Harcules Or yet Arbachus of knighthod pereles Let theim come all their vertue to declare Yet shall thei not with his grace compare ¶ For these princes these conquerors great Set their mynde and full attendance Countrees to subdewe kyngdoms to geate Onely by strength and mightie puysance And some again to take their chance Ieopard their persones to get theim a name As beastes wilde to make theim tame ¶ And thus thei wrought all by fantasy As fortune list the party assure To
