 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 142. Ignauis semper feriæ sunt.
With Sluggards eu'ry day is holy day;And so it is vvith some that seldome sleepes;
For, in an Alehouse, day and night they play
For Ale, the vvhile a Colt the Reckning keepes:
Till (like the woodden Troian Horse) at last,
Their liues, and liuelihoods the Colt doth wast.
