Great thanks to the welcome, in Churchyards behalf: To him that hath bleared, and cried like a Calf. Full well by his crying a man may now know, Where veal may be bought of a price very low: The head and the purtnaunce, with gather though small, As cheap as a sheeps head, the horns bought withal. Restless heads, I well perceive, to be acquainted sure: Can rashly feed on matters gross as meat for them unpure. ¶ So well I do perceive by one, who hath of late take pain: By penned verce on high Churchyard to welcome home again. ¶ In taunting wise (alas thou fool) what needed thus thy head To travail in such flickering vearce, sith all thy wits be fled? Dost thou know thou chattering Pie on whom thou dost thus rail? Or hast thou cause by gawled back, to wag and wince thy tail? ¶ As no revenge, this men account, to wreak thy angry mood? To charge him with a vowed oath, for wearing of a hood. ¶ Thy nature ill, doth well declare, thy rancour and thy spite: To heads that bare and naked are, yet needs not lantern light. * But canst thou spare a hood in deed? of hoods hast thou such store? How can thy horns for hoods be seen? hushed hushed, I say no more. Let Churchyard live & reign in place to his contented mind, And so let every horned beast go range, like to his kind. ¶ For cloughie Clem, and William to need not to take more pain, Sith Adam Bel, for Clem of the clough the monstrous Sheep hath slain. ¶ And outlaws are (as I hear say) for this, so heinous deed: So farewell. C. with horned cap, good night, and eke good speed. Thus do I cease with hoods Robin, now Robin Hood farewell: And Robinson in Churchyards stead, shall wear the hood and bell. ¶ And if this rude and simple verce may not a warning be, To stay your cockyug craking head take heed lest that you see: The coxcomb knocked about your pate, than hoods no more will seem Your horns to hide, but all men shall a monster thee esteem. And as for Churchyards coming hom was not of his free will, But for to please such states whose hests may both command and will. ¶ Thus bid I thee farewell a while, as one that keeps his pen: To answer such as shall presume, to blea like Calves in den.
