20 Of one Master Carelesse.

Where dwels Mr. Carelesse? Iesters haue no dwelling.
Where lies he? in his tongue by most mens telling.
Where bords he? there where feasts are foūd by smelling
Where bites he? all behind, with all men yelling.
Where bides the man? oh sir, I mist your spelling.
How I will read, yet well I doe not wot:
But if that I to him shall point his lot,
In Shot-ouer, at Dogs-head in the pot.
For in that signe his head oft ouer-shot.
