Epigram. [Bell]

These Bels are never told, with Rope in Steeple,
Yet there's od Iangling, 'mongst od kind of people,
And these 9. Bels at once are dayly Rung
With 2. strange Clappers, Pewter and the Tongue.
Bull head in the Borough of Southwarke
Bull head without Bishopsgate.

Epigram. [Bull head]

These Bull Heads nere had Bodyes I am sure,
'Tis strange Heads without Bodies should endure:
Yet tis not strange; for though the Signe be dead,
The Cellers foot below, holds up the Head.

Epigram. [Bull]

These Bulls were never Calues, nor came of Kine,
Yet at all seasons they doe yeeld good Wine,
But those that suck these Buls more then they ought,
Are Walthams Calues, much better fed than taught.

Epigram. [Beare]

No Ravenous, Savadge, Cruell Beares are these,
But Gentle, Milde, Delighting still to please:
And yet they have a Tricke to Bite all such
As Madly use their Company too much.

Epigram. [Bore]

He that will lay a wager sure shall win,
These Bores Heads shewes that Hogsheads are within
He that doth doubt let him the Celler try,
And tis much marvell if he come up dry,
