James VI von Schottland

1566 - 1625


All kinde of wronge allace it now aboundes
And honestie is fleemed out of this land;
Now trumprie ouer trueth his triumphe soundes;
Who now can knowe the hart by tongue or hand?

Cummes ever justice at the barre to stande?
Where can she be in these our taler dayes?
Alike in water for to wagg a wande
As speare for her if truelie sundrie sayes,

For manie now abroade doe daylie blaize
Tat justice hath her hart infected sore.
How can she then be cleane in anie wayes
Bot must become corrupted more and more?

Sume lockman now hath locked up apart
Poore justice, martyr'd with a meschant hart.
