perk

[the squirrel] whisks his brush

And perks his ears, and stamps and scolds aloud

The heads of plants above the crack’d ground perk:

For whereof commeth thys hypocrisie in the popedome, that men shall preache free will, merits, and satisfactions, and set vp their bristles in suche wise, and beare themselues in hande that they may come perking before God, yea and preace thither lyke shamelesse strumpets.
