A precious youth.
Also one Spilsbery rose up of late,(Who doth, or did dwell over Aldersgate)
His office was to weigh Hay by the Trusse,
(Fit for the pallat of Bucephalus)
He in short time left his Hay-weighing trade,
And afterwards he Irish Stockings made:
He rebaptiz'd in Anabaptist fashion
One Eaton (of the new found separation)
A zealous Button maker, grave and wise,
And gave him orders, others to baptize;
9
Hee'd do't as well as Spilsbery weigh'd Hay.
This pure Hay-lay man to the Bankside came,
And likewise there baptiz'd an impure dame,
A Basket-makers wife, known wondrous well,
In Mosse his Alley he and she doth dwell.
