And so shall a noble man nobly be seruyd:
But nowe adayes as huksters they hucke and they stycke,
And pynche at the payment of a poddynge prycke;
A laudable largesse, I tell you, for a lorde,
To prate for the patchynge of a pot sharde! 2150
Spare for the spence of a noble, that his honour myght saue,
And spende c.s̄. for the pleasure of a knaue!
But so longe they[858] rekyn with theyr reasons amysse,
That they lose theyr lyberte and all that there is.
Magn. Alasse, that euer I occupyed suche abusyon!
