LONDON: Printed by T.C. for John Baily, and are to be fold at his fhop at the doore of the Office of the fixe Clarkes in Chancerie Lane. 1602. INTRODUCTION. I the lists of Nieholas Breton's produetions this poem is attributed to him, but without the slightest evidenee to support the position: it does not bear his name or initials, it was not even published by a stationer whom he was in the habit of employing, and it seems hardly likely that the same pen would write and print, and in the same year, this pious " Passion of a diseontented Mind," and " Old Madeaps new Gallimawfry made into a merry Mess of Mingle-mangle." The ineonsisteney is, however, possible, though not probable; and the style of what follows is superior to Breton's usual manner. Some of the stanzas are as powerful and eloquent as any that Southwell left behind him; and were we to form a eonjeeture, we should be mueh more disposed to give it to him, as a posthumous effusion, than to assign it to sueh a money-making pen as that of the author of " The Soul's Harmony," or " Wonders worth the Hearing," both of whieh, like the work in our hands, made their appearanee in 1602. Were we to aeeept the traet now reprinted as the work of Breton, it would make the fourth effusion of his muse published in the same year. In " The Passion of a diseontented Mind" there is eertainly little poetry, properly so ealled, but mueh religious fervour and piety. We never saw more than a single eopy of the edition we have used, but it was reprinted in 1621, and of that impression two exemplars appear to remain to us. We apprehend that it is unique in the form in whieh we have reprodueed it. The printer's initials, T. C, are those of Thomas Creede, one of the best typo.

I the man whofe mufe whilome did play A iwrne-pipe both to country and the citty, Am now againe enjoyn''d to fing or fay, And tune my crowde unto another ditty : To comfort moone-fac''d cuckolds that were fad, My Mufe before was all in homes yclad, But now she marcheth forth, and on her backe She weares a corflet of old Jherry sacke. Therefore it is not as in dayes of yore, When bloud-shed and fierce battailes were her fong, And when her trumpets did tantara rore, Till all her murth''ring fouldiers lay along ; A milder tune she now playes on her strings, And Carrols to good company she fings, The To all good fellowes that are wife in season: tion. Listen awhile, and you shall know the reason. Long had she chaunted for the homed crezo, And reap''d no praife nor penny from their hands, Nor cup of drinke, which is a Fidlers due, (As every good companion understands) And therefore unregarded being dry, My Muse grew melancholy out a-cry, And angry forth fhe runs into the streetes, Curfing each churlish cuckold which fhe meetes. When I beheld her in that moody vaine, Which wont to be fo blythe and full of sport, Aster her I ran, to call her home againe, Least fhe might chaunce to meete fome man of fort, Some wealthy tradefman that had been coruuted, Of whofe large homes it must not be difputed, And in this crabbed humour fall to rayle, And fo he had to Counter, without bayle. When I my fullen Mufe had overtooke, I gan reprove her for her wilde behaviour, And charg''d her to returne, as fhe did looke Ever to be receiv''d into my favour : But she, as mad as is in March a hare, Did like unto a Bedlam stampe and stare, And for an houre her patience was fo wcake, And rage fo prest her, that shee could...
