From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 3
Social Commentaries
Libel all rawe with indigested spite,
Whose witt doth droppe inuenymde iniurie.
Whose pen leakes blots of spitefull infamie,
Which the synke of thy paper doth receite.
Why dost thou boast? for if thou had'st don well.
In naughty things twere easie to excell.
