The task-masters are playing kept,

but poore men pay for all.

Me thought I saw poore Tradesmen

i' th' City and else where,

Whom rich men keepe as beads-men,

in bondage, care, and feare:

Thei'l have them worke for what they list,

thus weakest goe to the wall,

The rich men eate and drinke the best

but poore men pay for all.
