In Caluum. Epi. 5.

The Commonty complaine, Caluus of late,
By hook, & crook, by pouling gaineth state:
Yet he protests, he takes few bribed gifts,
And powling scornes aboue all other shifts;
Appealing to his barber, who doth sweare,
He is not worth one hayre to reach one eare.
Then, sith you tax him with this faultlesse ill,
He'l leaue off-powling, and begin to pill.
