18 Ambitio, Luxus, Avaritia.
Ambition, Luxe, and Avarice, Three Witches(Ladies, I should say) whom the World doth woo
With sute and service (and that slavish too)
For their three Daughters, Honour, Pleasure, Riches,
Serve All alike: th'Ambitious, but with Winde:
With Woes, the Wanton (after Shewes of Mirth):
The Avaricious, with som Crums of Earth;
Ever the less, the more hee sets his Minde.
