But if the Charge exceed his Gaine or Rents,
He is forbidden to run on his course:
If he continue it, he pays a fine:
If he want wherewithal, he is at last
Taken by Sergeants and in prison cast.
For to spend much, and never to get ought,
Is cause of much disorder in the world.
One in the night-time filcheth from the flocks;
Another breaks a house or else a shop;
A third man gets a share his mouth to stop.
