WHen glistering Phoebus had hid his head, And horned Cynthia shined in his stead, A dulnesse that time had possessed my braine, Then to a Taverne, I straight tooke my way, Where was good Canary as I did heare say, To put me into a pleasant vaine: And as I passed along in the darke, One in disgrace, Unto my face Slandered my honestie of old Hide parke. What though your Courtiers appeare here in braverie, Must it be a boulster, unto their knaverie, There's private corners for them in the Court. Your Ladies of the Court, are they not neat ones? I surely that they be, and very feat ones, Yet come they not hither to play at loves sport,
They can point places, if it be their minde, More fit than this, To play and kisse: Then judge of Hide Parke, no worse than you finde. What though your Ladies, all of the Land, Come riding hither forth of the Strand, They come out to take the ayre, and so are gone. I dare not boldly say, that they come there to play, As they passe on the way in garments rich and gay, What harme's this I pray, I can finde none, Each one hath time enough, at her owne home, For you know what, No hurt in that, They to Hide Parke to do't need never come. Truth is, your Merchants wives sometime come hither, Like loving little Rogues kindly together: Is't not as fit for them, as tis for many,
Their husbands give them, a spare time for walking, ships are not sound they know without good chalking, For ill that they doe here, I doe not know any, Let not Hide Parke, be so much scandalizld And made a baud To womens fraud, You that have done this, be better advis'd. The honest Country Girles, sometimes resort here, Thinke not amisse of them, they make no sport here, They take more pleasure to dance ore a greene, Or at a Whitson Ale, to be woo'd plainely With a true countrey Lad, no word spoke vainely, Though in Hide Parke now and then they'l be seene Tis neere a whit more dishonest for them. Therefore Ile still say they doe ill That doe so honest a lace so condemne.
