Tobacco carted to Tyburne.

A Fleming late that kild one with a knife,
Carried by cart to end his wretched life,


Toward Tiburne riding did Tobacco take,
(To purge his head against his heeles did shake.)
But I durst lay ten pounds to twenty shilling,
To take his purge no wise-man will be willing:
Though Englishmen are apt for imitation,
Yet Maisters, let the Dutchman keepe his fashion:
For howsoe're it with his liking stood,
The smoaking did his choaking little good.
