22 Of a sawcy Cator.

A cator had of late some wild-fowle bought,
And when vnto his Master them he brought,
Forthwith the Master smelling nigh the rump,
Said, Out, thou knaue, these sauour of the pump.
The man (that was a rude and sawcy Lout)
What Sir, said he, smell you them there about?
Smell your faire Lady there, and by your fauour,
Your fortune may meete with a fulsome sauour.
