1 But nowe they that are younger then I haue me in derision: yea euen they whose fathers I would haue thought scorne to haue set with the dogges of my cattell
2 For wherto might the strength of their handes haue serued me? for the time was but lost among them
3 For very miserie and hunger they fled into the wildernesse, a darke place, horrible and waste
4 Plucking vp nettles among the busshes, and the iuniper rootes for their meate
5 And when they were dryuen foorth, men cryed after them as it had ben afafter a thiefe
6 Their dwelling was in the cleftes of brookes, yea in the caues and dennes of the earth
7 Among the busshes went they about crying, and vnder the thornes they gathered them selues together
8 They were the children of fooles and vyllaynes, which are more vile then the earth
9 Now am I their song, & am become their yesting stocke
10 They abhorre me and flee farre from me, and stayne my face with spittle
