PREL. Go, bastard Orphan + Pack thee hence +
And seek some Stranger for defence +
Now ^gins thy baseness to be known +
Nor dare I take thee for mine own ;
Thy levity shall be descried +
But if that any have espied,
And question with thee, of thy Sire ;
Or Mistress of his vain Desire ;
Or ask the Place from whence thou came :
Deny thy Sire + Love + Place + and Name +
And if I chance, un^wares to meet thee,
Neither acknowledge me, nor greet me +
Admit I blush (perchance, I shall),
Pass by + regard me not at all +
Be secret, wise, and circumspect +
And modesty sometimes affect +
Some good man, that shall think thee witty,
Will be thy Patron + and take pity;
And when some men shall call thee base
He, for thy sake, shall him disgrace +
Then, with his countenance backed, thou shalt
Excuse the nature of thy fault.
Then, if some lads, when they go by,
Thee, =Bastard += call; give them the lie +
So, get thee packing + and take heed +
And, though thou go in beggar^s weed . . .
