Vntill there full stuft gorge a passage makes

Into the wide mawes of more scopious lakes:

Spight me! not spight it selfe can discontent

My steeled thoughts, or breed disparagement:

Had pale fac't coward feare bene resident

Within the bosome of me Innocent,

I would haue housde me from the eyes of ire,

Whose bitter spleen vomits forth flames of fire.

A resolute Asse, oh for a spurring Rider;

A brace of Angels: what is the foole a briber?

Is not the Asse yet wearie of his load?

What with once bearing of the foole abroad?

Mount againe Foole: then the Asse will tire

And leaue the Foole to wallow in the mire.

Dost thou thinke otherwise? good Asse then be gon,

I stay but till the Innocent get on.

What wilt thou needs of the foole bereaue mee?

Then pack good foolish Asse, & so I leaue thee.

FINIS.
