Abuse Is Familiar with Humane Flesh and Bloud
Minding this World , I muse at what I minde,
though It vnworthy be of Minde or Muse:
I muse that Men are to It so inclinde,
sith It mindes nought, but how Men to abuse.
From high to low Abuse doth proudly migne:
from which the Preist , that leads all, is not free:
The Holy hold the Holy in disdaine,
if with their state , their states doe not agree.
Vertue , or Vice are held or good or ill ,
as, in this World , they thriue or ill , or well
For, Vice is honor'd more then Vertue still,
If Vices Mannors, Vertues doe excell:
If Manors good, doe what good Maners ought,
(That's make men great ) great men are made of nought .
