How Clearke Tho. his Clearkeship sau'd his Queane.

Epigram. 350.

Clearke Thomas kept a whore at his command,
(VVhom al commanded that had welth or will)
Yet kept her from the Gallowes vnder-hand,
That vnder him she might be doing still.
Fye Tom (great Clearke) thy skil doth kil thy fame
For, by thy Clergy thou hast sau'd thy shame.
