The poore is pincht and pointed at indeed,

As baited bull were leading to a stake:

Wealth findes great helpe, want gets no friend at neede,

A plaged wight a booteles mone may make,

A naked soule in street for colde may quake:

But colde or hot, when mischiefes comes a roe,

As falles the lot, the back beares of the bloe.

Prefarment past, the world will soon forget:
