One who had no Leisure
Between his Bus'nes, and his Pleasure
To think of any thing but what
To th' one, or th' other did relate.

Like Mules that travel in a Road
And understand which way to take
As well asleep as broad awake.

A Prodigal nere fayles to hate
Those who have purchacd his Estate,
Although at ere so great a Rate;
Is safer trusted with untold
Cabals and Secrets, then with Gold.

Begotten as great Princes wed
By Proxy in his Fathers stead.

One that was Peevisher and testier
Then Botches when they Rage and fester;
Revenge, and Mischief, and Despight
Were both his Bus'nes, and Delight.

Though Squemish in her Outward woman
As Lewd, and Rampant as Dol Common.
