Doth practise physic; and his credit grows,

As doth the ballad-singer's auditory,

Which hath at Temple-Bar his standing chose,

And to the vulgar sings an ale-house story:

First stands a porter; then an oyster-wife

Doth stint her cry and stay her steps to hear him;10

Then comes a cutpurse ready with his[539] knife,

And then a country client presseth[540] near him;

There stands the constable, there stands the whore,

And, hearkening[541] to the song, mark[542] not each other;
