Exhortation to learn by others’ Trouble

MY Ratclif, when thy rechless youth offends,

Receive thy scourge by others’ chastisement;

For such calling, when it works none amends,

Then plagues are sent without advertisement.

Yet Solomon said, the wronged shall recure:

But Wyatt said true; ‘The scar doth aye endure.’
