The charge thereof vnto a couetous Spright
2 Commaunded was, who thereby did attend,
And warily awaited day and night,
4 From other couetous feends it to defend,
Who it to rob and ransacke did intend.
6 Then Mammon turning to that warriour, said;
Loe here the worldes blis, loe here the end,
8 To which all men do ayme, rich to be made:
Such grace now to be happy, is before thee laid.
