PIERS. Ah! Palinode, thou art a world's child:
Who touches pitch, must needs be defil'd;
But shepheards (as Algrind[7] used to say)
Must not live alike as men of the lay.
With them it sits to care for their heir,
Enaunter their heritage do impair:
They must provide for means of maintenance,
And to continue their wont countenance:
But shepheard must walk another way,
Sike worldly sovenance he must for-say.
