Satire 9.

[Thou Fernydus, awaie thou wicked man]

Thou Fernydus, awaie thou wicked man
I scorne to write on thee although I cann
Scudd silver-scraper: ritch wretch, hence, awaie
Thou owst thy gutts a debt, that debt goe paie,
Goe cloath thy back, its more then halfe vnstript
Its nowe, just as it were, when thou wert whipt
Goe broane-bread-eater, think that this my penn
Much scornes to write on water drynkinge men.
