Against Cæcilianus.
When not sixe thousande pounde,Cæcilian did enioye:
Alofte he hoisted was,
in Chariot like a Roye.
When that through Fortunes grace,
he doubled had his stoore:
Beholde he went on foote,
euen like a peisaut poore.
The game and gaine thou haste,
and yet to loose doest faine?
Tell truthe, lest Fortune froune,
and make thee fall againe.
