Said Guyon, See the mind of beastly man,
2 That hath so soone forgot the excellence
Of his creation, when he life began,
4 That now he chooseth, with vile difference,
To be a beast, and lacke intelligence.
6 To whom the Palmer thus, The donghill kind
Delights in filth and foule incontinence:
8 Let Grill be Grill, and haue his hoggish mind,
But let vs hence depart, whilest wether serues and wind.

difference > discrimination; argument, disagreement
5 To be a beast, and lack intelligence." 6 To whom the palmer thus: "The dunghill kind 7 Delights in filth and foul incontinence: 8 Let Grill be Grill, and have his hoggish mind, 9 But let us hence depart, whilst weather serves and wind."

2 +That+ fairest vertue, farre aboue the rest;
For which what needs me fetch from Faery
4 Forreine ensamples, it to haue exprest?
Sith it is shrined in my Soueraines brest,
6 And form'd so liuely in each perfect part,
That to all Ladies, which haue it profest,
8 Need but behold the pourtraict of her hart,
If pourtrayd it might be by any liuing art.
