Such mister saying me seemeth to mirk.
DIG. Then, plainly to speak of shepheards' most what,
Bad is the best; (this English is flat)
Their ill haviour gars men missay
Both of their doctrine, and their fay.
They sayn the world is much war than it wont,
All for her shepheards be beastly and blont.
Other sayn, but how truly I n'ote,
All for they holden shame of their cote:
Some stick not to say, (hot coal on their tongue!)
