REstlesse heads, I wel perceave, to be acquainted sure: Can rashly fede on matters grose as meate for them unpure. So well I doe perceave by one, who hath of late take payne: By penned verce on high Churchyard to welcome home agayne. In tauntyng wise (alas thou foole) what needed thus thy head To travaile in such flickeryng vearce, sith all thy wits be fled? Doest thou know thou chattring Pye on whome thou doest thus rayle? Or hast thou cause by gawled backe, to wag and wince thy tayle? As no revenge, this men accoumpt, to wreake thy angrie moode? To charge him with a vowed oth, for wearyng of a hoode. Thy nature yll, doth well declare, thy rancour and thy spight: To heads that bare and naked are, yet needs not lanthorne light. But canst thou spare a hood indede? of hoods hast thou such store? How can thy hornes for hoods be sene? husht husht, I say no more. Let Churchyard live & raigne in place to his contented mynde, And so let every horned beast go raunge, lyke to his kynde.
For cloughie Clem, and William to neede not to take more payne, Sith Adam Bel, for Clem of the clough the monstrous Shepe hath slayne. And outlawes are (as I heare say) for this, so haynous deed: So farewell. C. with horned cap, good night, and eke good speed. Thus doe I cease with hoods Robin, now Robin Hood farewell: And Robinson in Churchyards stede, shall weare the hood and bell. And yf this rude and simple verce may not a warnyng bee, To stay your cockyng crakyng head take heed lest that you see: The cokscombe knockt about your pate, then hoods no more wyll seeme Your hornes to hyde, but al men shall a monster thee esteeme. And as for Churchyards cumming hom was not of his free wyll, But for to please such stats whos hests may both commaund and wyll. Thus bid I thee farewell a whyle, as one that keepes his pen: To aunswer such as shall presume, to blea lyke Calves in den.
