[Why is base Nemius iudged to be ritch]

Why is base Nemius iudged to be ritch,
Because he lookes so grim and weares seale rings,
Or cause he buyes commodities of Fish,
Of Cheese, of Butter and such other things,
Or ist because he talkes of Bondes and Billes,
Of Leases, and of morgaging of Land,
Of Lordships, Mannors, and of making willes,
Of many paunes that lie vpon his hand,
Or is't because like a great Alderman,
He weares a gown lac't round, laid down with furre,
Or miser like a pouch where neuer man,
Could thrust his finger but this Island curre.
All these are signes that he is not belyed,
And yet he has ten thousand markes beside.
