Epig. VI. Ad Alecto.
Come sad Alecto leaue thy dismall cell,And bring thy snake-heard sisters vp from hell,
First take thy turne, doubt not the want of worke,
I will present thee thousand sinnes to ierke;
But be no partiall Furie, doe not spare
This man for wealth, that woman for her fare,
This gull for cheere, that foole for his fine cloathes;
This for his lookes that other for his oathes;
Ierke generall sinne, that it may heere be seene,
Alecto scourges none for priuate spleene.
