19. On Simon Magvs .

Simon , bring Gold enough; and I will tell thee,
Wher thou shalt buy what Peter wold not sel thee:
Repaire to his Successors; They are free
And frolick Gamsters; not so strict as Hee:
Nay, if thy Gold be weake, they will not stand
To sell good Pen'worths at the second hand:
They'l sell good cheape, but they'l not give to any;
No Pater-noster where there is no Penny:
No, if thy purse be like an empty Shell,
They will not give, what Peter would not sell.
