Epigram.

[VVhen this Picke-pocket, suffer'd vitall losse]

VVhen this Picke-pocket, suffer'd vitall losse,
Betweene the Court-gate hang'd, & Charing-crosse:
One of his Fellowes (for the diuing trickes)
At th' execution place a pocket pickes:
One in the Church where God is honour'd chiefe;
Another at the Gallowes playes the thiefe.
What can diuert such wretches from their euill,
That feare not God, the Hang-man, nor the Diuell?
