Epig. V. In Durum.
A friend of Durus comming on a dayTo visite him, finding the doores say nay
Being lockt fast vp, first knockt and then did pause,
As Lord haue mercie on's had beene the cause;
But missing it, he askt a neighbour by,
When the rich Durus dores were lockt and why?
He said it was a custome growne of late,
At dinner time to locke your great mans gate.
Durus poore friend admir'd, and thought the doore
Was not for state lockt vp; but 'gainst the poore:
And thence departing emptie of good cheere
Said, Lord haue mercie on vs is not heere.
