The Scourge of Folly | ||
Epig. 254. Against a Wittold Broker.
I see thee sell all Baggage; then I museThou keep'st thy wife vnsold; but, tis no newes:
For, mens worst Ware lies longest on their hand,
And sith thy wife all men may still command;
What neede they buy her then? No; shee will passe
When thou hast nothing els, for glasse, or Brasse
Like a Virginian sauage: but, till then
Keepe her vnsold to deale with English men.
