And Heaven’s friend, all sainct Continency,

Was banished quite: Lasciviousness did roll,

Frugality, healthful Sobriety

No place could find; all parts enquartered were

With Bacchus-brutes and Satyres-luxury.

All lawless games bore sway, with blasphemes roare,

’Twixt Clerk and Laick difference was none,

Disguized all, phantastick out of norme;

But as the Prophet says, as Priests do run,

So run the people, peevish in disform.
