Scandalmonger

 

Good Morrow gossip art thou well?

Methinks thou hast some news to tell,

what scandal now has reached thine ears.

Must thou believe all that thou hears?

And must thou then embroider it

 to make a tastier tidbit.

Thou spreadest rumour cheerfully

shouldst thou not tremble fearfully

Does not thy conscience bother thee.

Art thou so blind thou canst not see,

 thy flapping tongue doth cause distress

to honest folk who are helpless.

 Against thy tongue there’s no defence.

None can proclaim their innocence.
