 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 276. Of my beeing put into the Kings high Subsedy-bookes.
I haue no Land (O Heau'ns! you know my Case)Yet vniust Cessors say I haue; and so
They in the Kings high-Bookes, my Name do place
Equall to those that for Knights fellowes go:
And so they may, yet set me nothing foorth:
For, fellowes to some Knights are nothing worth.
