The Wit hath long beholding been
Unto the Cap to keep it in;
But now the wits fly out amain,
In prayse to quit the Cap again;
The Cap that keeps the highest part
Obtains the place by due desert:
For any Cap, &c. [what ere it bee,
Is still the signe of some degree.]
The Monmouth Cap, the Saylors thrumbe,
And that wherein the Tradesmen come,
