To doe thee spight, his Malice may suffise.

I could not from a Prince beseech a boone

By suing to his Iester or Buffoone:

Nor, any Fooles vaine humor, sooth or serve,

To get my bread, though I were like to starve.

For, to be poore, I should not blush so much,

As if a Foole should raise me to be rich.

Lord, though of such a kinde my faults may be,

That sharpe Affliction still must tutor mee,

(And give me due Correction in her Schooles)
