On Mercenary and Unjust Bailiffs
If they true bailiffs be, who for the law maintaining,
Do orphans overwhelm, and widows terrify,
And hamlets gobble up, the poor with sport disdaining,
I know not; but, I trow, a schout should ever try
To have the law of God and sovereign rights possess him,
The wrong with power by right and not by wrong suppressing.
Do orphans overwhelm, and widows terrify,
And hamlets gobble up, the poor with sport disdaining,
I know not; but, I trow, a schout should ever try
To have the law of God and sovereign rights possess him,
The wrong with power by right and not by wrong suppressing.
