71. On Glorioso .

Nere vaunt, Glorioso, that thou oft reliev'st
The poore; Glorioso, tis not thine, thou giv'st:
Boast what's thy own; Thou art the poor mans Sive;
Thy wealth was giv'n thee, with a Clause, to give;
Put case it were thy owne thou gav'st; what then?
Thy owne Applause hath paid thy own agen.
