Ad Scævolam Epig. 104.
Scævola not as yet dubbd Knight he praysFor one ten thousand pounds his stock to raise,
13
The easie gods smil'd and vouchsaf'd it free.
Upon this boon his coat was much more bare,
His Cloak far worse, his shoos thrice clouted are,
His olives were of seaven years vintage standing,
One Table serves two meales by his commanding:
The course dreggs ofred wine are his chiefe drink,
His pease and wench scarce cost one doit I think,
Let us appeale to Law, thou cheating Bore,
Live, or else to the gods their goods restore.
