Ad Cæsarem quod expulerit delatores, Epig. 4.

An envious crue to pleasant rest and peace
Which wretched wealth still studyed to increase
127

Are to the Getes exil'd: Nor could the sand
Receive the guilty Vagabonds on land.
So now the Teazers have
That bannishment they gave.
The Pick-thank's bannish'd the Ausonian gate,
The lifes of Princes from their gifts take date.
