Say What It Is And If You Can

Say what it is and if you can, That neither was by God create, Nor framed by the hand of man, Nor by the fiend that doth him hate; But caused it was for tyrants strong, As things are many of great woorth, Which made it straight and woondrous long When at the first, they brought it foorth: And good it doth, and none ill deedes, Feeding vpon greene grasse and weedes.
