In Rusticum.
A charitable Clowne.
Rvsticus an honest country Swayne,Whose education simple was, and plaine:
Hauing surveyd the Citie round about,
Emptyed his purse, and so went trudging out.
But by the way he saw, and much respected,
A doore belonging to a house infected:
Whereon was plac't (as 'tis the custome still)
Lord haue mercie vpon vs, this sad Bill
The sot perusde, and hauing read, he swore
All London was vngodly, but that doore.
Here dwells some vertue, yet sayes he, for this
A most deuout religious saying is:
And thus he wisht (with putting off his Hatte)
That euery doore had such a Bill as that.
