Cesar, when that the traytor of Egipt

Cesar, when that the traytor of Egipt,
With thonorable hed did him present,
Covering his gladnes, did represent
Playnt with his teres owteward, as it is writt;

And Hannyball, eke, when fortune him shitt
Clene from his reign, and from all his intent
Laught to his folke, whom sorrowe did torment,
His cruel dispite for to dis-gorge and qwit.

So chaunceth it oft, that every passion
The mind hideth, by color contrary.
With fayned visage, now sad, now mery :

Whereby if I laught, any tyme or season,
It is : for bicause I have nother way
To cloke my care, but under sport and play.
