The Mastive, or Young-Whelpe of the Olde-Dogge | ||
Confesse, and be hang'd.
Tom stretcht his necke for stealing of a Mare,And yet Ile proue he was not hang'd for stealing:
For had he not beene taken vnaware,
And so conuicted by his owne reuealing,
He might haue scapt the Gallowes, gone his way,
And still remain'd a Thiefe vntill this day.
