Awaggery

CHILDRENS ahs, and womens ohs
Doe a wondrous griefe disclose:
Where a dugge the tone will still,
And the tother but a will.

Then, in gods name, let them cry.
While they cry, they will not die.
For, but fewe that are so curst,
As to cry, vntill they burst.

Say, some children are vntoward:
So some women are as froward:
Let them cry them, 'twill not kill them:
There is time enough to still them.

But, if pitty will be pleased
To relieue the small diseased,
When the helpe is once applying,
They will quickly leaue their crying.

Let the childe then sucke his fill,
Let the woman haue her will,
All will hush, was hearde before:
Ah, and oh, will cry no more.
