 But Moſes, Sir, now by your cave,

Although in heaven your poſſeſt,

For all you ſaw did not believe,

But you in Horeb once tran greſt,

Wherefore by al it is confeſt

You got but the land to ſee,

And in the mount were put to reſt,

Yea buried there where you did die.

Moſes meekly turned back,

And told his brother Aaron there,

How the old carline did ſo crack,

And in no ways did him forbear,

Then Aaron ſaid, I will not ſwear

But I'll conjure her as I can

And I will make her to forbear,

So that ſhe ſhall not rap again.

Then Aaron ſaid you whoriſh wife,

Go get you gone and rap no more;

(With idols you have led your life,)

Or then you ſhall repent it ſore.

Good Aaron, prieſt, I know thee well,

The golden calf you may remember

Who made the people plagues to feel,

This is of you recorded ever:

Your prieſthood now is nothing worth,

Chriſt is my only prieſt and he

My Lord, that will not keep me forth,

So I'll get in in ſpite of thee,

Upſtarted Samſon at the laſt,

Unto the gate apace came he,

To drive away the wife with ſtrength,

But all in vain, it would not be.
