Epigram 15. Kissing goes by fauour.

Bembus the Burgomaster liues in paine,
With the Sciatica, and the Cathar.
Rich Grundo of the dropsie doth complaine,
And with the Gowt these mizers troubled are.
If Tinkers, Coblers, Botchers, be infected
With Bembus Lamenesse or with Grundoes Gowt:
Like pocky fellowes they must bee reiected,
And as infectious rascals bee kept out,
And not come neere where wholesome people flocks:
Thus rich mens sicknesses, are poore mens pocks.
