[When Gatra died great store of wealth was foūd]

When Gatra died great store of wealth was foūd
In cofers, truncks, great chests, & leather bags,
In cubberds, hampers, and vaults vnder ground,
Iewels wrapt vp (in pollicie) with rags.
Some say he got more then the begger did,
That was so ritch and excellent at the trade,
Others thinke deuils mong'st his Angels hid,
Who vp to the necke in Common-wealth did wade
He was no Marchant beater of the burse,
Nor neuer pleading at the barre did braule,
Yet he found meanes to bumbast out his purse,
For many say he got the deuill and all,
Well say he did, it seemes he let him goe,
But now the diuell has him hele not do so.
