To Quindeno the Lawyer.

As often as my Tinder-box I see,
So oft Quindeno doe I thinke on thee:
Thy Clyents fall together by the eares,
Like steele and flint, and each the other weares.

Whil'st underneath thou like the willy Fox,
Pursest their golden sparkes within thy box,
And art by Torch-light usher'd thorow Towne,
While (fooles) ith' dark they stumble up and downe.
