Hast brought disfavour and contempt, ywiss,
Than others that have had to do with thee:
Till only such as vow’d themselves aloof
From thee and thine were held in good aproof;
And few there were, who thus of shame went free.

‘That punishment is shapen as reward
Is like thy fortune: but our good estate
We honour, while we sit to be adored:
And thus ’twas written in the book of Fate.
