A copy of verses against lily  

In lilium bardum Astrologastrum  
Lilius est quidvis, est bardus, perditas, audax,  
Est mendax, afinus Lilius astrologus  
Demonstret nomen te mendacissime Lili  
Nomine bis mendax dicere, req magis  
Istis quid levius quibus est pro numine nomen  
Mendacis, magis est qui levitate levis  
How vain, how light, how foolish and how nought  
Are all that praise thee and thy books have baught?  
Candida mi Lili non sunt tibi lilia nomen  
Uix inter vepres nomen habere potes  
To call you lily more it were a scorn  
Your name's a nettle thistle brier or thorn  
Your head your pen'e your tongue doth prick and sting  
More than doth nettle prier or any thing   

To lily now all men may well say Phy  
Because your name saith twice to you ye lie  
But i● you say you have an L in more  
Than add ye fifty lies to two before  
Thus lies for weeks make up a good new year  
O brave what Almanacker have we here.
