Epig. 11 In Lippum.

You say he spendes all, nothing meanes to purse,
Yet for this fault most men excusde wil hold him
You spend iust nought; he ill doth, you do wurse;
And as your neighbours (Lippus) of late told him,
You spend your selfe vpon an errand whore,
He doth spend much, but Lippus, you spend more.
