   Are hated most of those they did deceive,

     Of all be hated, but the most of me!

        Sweetened with syrup, tinctured with spice,
         Creams, and cordials, and sugared dates,
          Syrian apples, Othmanee quinces,
           Limes and citrons and apricots,
            And wines that are known to Eastern princes.

    Limons, and wine for sauce: to these a coney
     Is not to be despaired of for our money;
      And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks,
       The sky not falling, think we may have larks.

 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you 
even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
