12. On a Banckrupt.
A sparing father, and a spending son,
How they agree! what's by the father don,
The Heir undoes; lightly come, lightly go,
He must have horses, dogs, attendants too:
No mar'le, for thrift and he are at a fray,
And who can hold the thing that will away?
He's in the field, when thrift is in the town,
At last this gallant's whole estate's up blown:
How they agree! what's by the father don,
The Heir undoes; lightly come, lightly go,
He must have horses, dogs, attendants too:
No mar'le, for thrift and he are at a fray,
And who can hold the thing that will away?
He's in the field, when thrift is in the town,
At last this gallant's whole estate's up blown:
Better for having much t'have hate befall,
Then to be pitied for spending all.
Then to be pitied for spending all.

Mali parta male dilabuntur, ill got ill spent:
Quæ subito veniunt subito quandoque, recedunt,
Quot cervos tot fures habemus.
Plaut.
Quæ subito veniunt subito quandoque, recedunt,
Quot cervos tot fures habemus.
Actæon-præda fuit canibus.
