Machevill:
Albeit the world thinke Machevill is dead,
Yet was his soule but flowne beyond the Alpes,
And now the Guize is dead, is come from France
And now the Guize is dead, is come from France
To view this Land, and frolicke with his friends.
To some perhaps my name is odious,
But such as love me, gard me from their tongues,
And let them know that I am Machevill,
To some perhaps my name is odious,
But such as love me, gard me from their tongues,
And let them know that I am Machevill,
And weigh not men, and therefore not mens words.
Admir'd I am of those that hate me most:
Though some speake openly against my bookes,
Yet will they reade me, and thereby attaine
To Peters Chayre: And when they cast me off,
Are poyson'd by my climing followers.
I count Religion but a childish Toy,
Admir'd I am of those that hate me most:
Though some speake openly against my bookes,
Yet will they reade me, and thereby attaine
To Peters Chayre: And when they cast me off,
Are poyson'd by my climing followers.
I count Religion but a childish Toy,
And hold there is no sinne but Ignorance.
Birds of the Aire will tell of murders past;
I am asham'd to heare such fooleries.
Many will talke of Title to a Crowne:

What right had Cæsar to the Empery?
Might first made Kings, and Lawes were then most sure
When like the Dracos they were writ in blood.
Hence comes it, that a strong built Citadell
Commands much more then letters can import:
Which maxime had Phaleris observ'd,
H'had never bellowed in a brasen Bull
Of great ones envy; o'th poore petty wites,
Let me be envy'd and not pittied!
But whither am I bound, I come not, I,
Might first made Kings, and Lawes were then most sure
When like the Dracos they were writ in blood.
Hence comes it, that a strong built Citadell
Commands much more then letters can import:
Which maxime had Phaleris observ'd,
H'had never bellowed in a brasen Bull
Of great ones envy; o'th poore petty wites,
Let me be envy'd and not pittied!
But whither am I bound, I come not, I,
To reade a lecture here in Britanie,
But to present the Tragedy of a Jew,
Who smiles to see how full his bags are cramb'd,
Which money was not got without my meanes.
I crave but this, Grace him as he deserves,
And let him not be entertain'd the worse
Because he favours me.
