Sero, si non subito.

Lorellus by the Law condemn'd to dye,
Sent his sicke water to a Doctor nigh:
And proffer'd him an hundred pound for's paine,
If by his Art hee might but's life obtaine.
The Doctor vnderstanding of his crime,
Wil'd him with patience to endure a time;
And send againe when th' Moone was in the change,
Meane while Lorelius must to Tiburne range.
