the Company they had Within those darksome Caverns, was their sad And melancholy thoughts, their sighs and groans, Their doleful Lodgings was upon the stones, If noisome Creatures bred and foistr•d there, Th•se noisome Creatures their Companions were ⟨p. 141⟩What food they eat, was only to secure Their Souls alive, that so they might endure The several Torments that they did provide, And so a hundred and fifty thousand died, Beside what died by persecuting hands, Within the Popes Confines in several Lands. Thus may I sooner spend my strength and tears, And tire (if you regard) your eyes and ears, Than give a full and absolute relation, Of all the acts at Romes Abomination.

But I perceive these truths are dully heard, And that you little my discourse regard.
