436. UPON PARSON BEANES.
Old Parson Beanes hunts six days of the week,
And on the seventh, he has his notes to seek.
Six days he hollows so much breath away,
That on the seventh, he can nor preach or pray.
438. SHORT AND LONG BOTH LIKES.
This lady's short, that mistress she is tall;
But long or short, I'm well content with all.
440. UPON ROOK. EPIG.
Rook he sells feathers, yet he still doth cry
Fie on this pride, this female vanity.
Thus, though the Rook does rail against the sin,
He loves the gain that vanity brings in.
456. UPON SPUNGE. EPIG.
Spunge makes his boasts that he's the only man
Can hold of beer and ale an ocean;
Is this his glory? then his triumph's poor;
I know the tun of Heidleberg holds more.
