Affirm that favill (fable-lying) hathe a goodly grace

In eloquence, and cruelty to name

Zeale of justice, and change in time and place;

And he that suffreth offence without blame,

Call him pitiefull, and him true and playne

That raylest reckless unto each man's shame;

Say he is rude, that cannot lye and fayne,

The lecher a lover, and tyranny

To be right of a Prince's raigne;
