That which before I did most deadly flee.

6.

Let men beware how they true folke defame,

Or threaten on them the blame of vices nought,

For infamy breedeth wrath, wreke followeth shame:

Eke open slannder often times hath brought

That to effect, that erst was neuer thought:

To bee misdeemed men suffer in a sort,

But none can beare the griefe of misreport.
