A booby is he, to be sure,
Who, being ill and seeking cure,
A sickly doctor calls.
Sometimes it falls, by running much
The later we arrive.
A faith that's moved by anger
A feeble faith must be.
Sad it is, but must be said,
People think, though false, I ween.
Scandal is a relish keen
Used by most to save their bread.
Diverse are the laws,
But there's no law that sways the heart of man
When the soul sets some sorrow in a shrine
And worships it.
Women, like mirrors, may reflect,
Perchance your very face;
If you the compliment neglect,
Another takes your place.
For his confused and wayward wit
Like to a greedy lawyer is,
Who laws doth make to suit the taste
Of those who do his counsel seek.
Daughter she is, 'tis true, of Charles the King,
But she is woman, and in womankind
Hath fickleness for far more years held sway
Than Charles can count of noble ancestry.
