    So may the outward shows be least themselves;
    The world is still deceived with ornament.
    In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
    But being seasoned with a gracious voice,
    Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
    What damned error but some sober brow
    Will bless it and approve it with a text,
    Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?

While gripinge grefes ye hart would wounde,
And dolefulle domps ye mynde oppresse,
There musicke with her silver sound,
Is wont with spede to send redresse.
