ALIVD.

[I am no fayned IEBVSITE, for I]

I am no fayned IEBVSITE, for I
Haue travell'd farre, and haue true Cause to crye:
My Shooes are clowted, and my Cloathes are worne:
My Bread is mowl'd, my Bottell toome and torne.
If I goe Home worse than I came abroad,
Heere is no loue to Man, nor feare of GOD.
