Deuysynge the meanes and wayes that I can,

Howe I may hurte and hynder euery man:

Two faces in a hode couertly I bere, 720

Water in the one hande, and fyre in the other;

I can fede forth a fole, and lede hym by the eyre;

Falshode in felowshyp is my sworne brother.

By cloked colusyon, I say, and none other,

Comberaunce and trouble in Englande fyrst I began;

From that lorde to that lorde I rode and I ran,

And flatered them with fables fayre before theyr face,
