27 Of one that gaue a Benefice.
A squire of good account, affirm'd he went,
A learned man a Liuing to present:
But yet that Squire, in this did breake no square,
He purposed thereof to keepe a share;
To set two sonnes to schoole, to make them Clarks,
He doth reserue each yeere an hundred markes.
Ah, said the Priest, this card is too too cooling,
I set your sonnes; nay, they set me to schooling.
