On rich Lock.
Rich Lock's maids stay not long with him, yet theyLaden all, though not Maiden, go away:
Some to his tenants eldest sons are wed,
Some to his menial servants married;
With th'first he gives some monie, and to these
A Rent-free farme or Copyhold he gi'es.
Well their short service thou rewardest Lock:
Young Tenants cann't begin without a stock.
Sure a more gracious Landlord ne'r was known
Lock's now more like a father to his town.
