Ne euer thing so well was doen aliue,
But she with blame would blot, and of due praise depriue.
Her words were not, as common words are ment, xxvi
T’expresse the meaning of the inward mind,
But noysome breath, and poysnous spirit sent
From inward parts, with cancred malice lind,
And breathed forth with blast of bitter wind;
Which passing through the eares, would pierce the hart,
And wound the soule it selfe with griefe vnkind:
For like the stings of Aspes, that kill with smart,
