For, Ile Stabbe ye. By S. R. [i.e. Samuel Rowlands]

expand section



Sooth-sayer, or Figure-flinger.

You Cunning man, or rather co'sning Knaue,
That will tell good-man Ninney of his Mare:
Cysley, how many Husbandes she shall haue,
Tom Carter, when the weather will be faire:
My neighbour Powling, who hath found his Purse,
And Ioue his wife who did her Chickens curse.
Whether a man shall haue a happy life,
Whether a Louer shall his Loue enioy:
Who shall die first, the husband or the wife?
Whether the childe vnborne, be girle or boy?
You that can fetch home Seruantes runne away,
And finde out any Cattle gone astray.
Ile Stabbe yee.
