Latet anguis in herba.
When periur'd Exlex, with his lawyers bragges,Had me discarded of my golden bags,
Feeding my minde with hope of victory,
By right of law and Iustice equity,
Next terme to Westminster I post in hast,
Where I was throwne & iudgement gainst me past,
All things went crosse, I lost the fees and farme,
Rode home to Exlex, crau'd of him to learne
The reason why: bending his angry brow,
O sir quoth he the case is altred now.
Nocumenta, Documenta.
Lvxurio now disdaines lustfull desire,For still you know the burnt childe dreades the fire.
In nasum.
Nasus is ritch, indeede I so suppose,Can he be poore that hath a ruby nose.
Sic Iter ad astra.
Indeed insooth, away presitian,Sweare bloody othes, I that becomes a man:
Indeede I see such othes makes many a one,
Come to the height of Buls promotion.
FINIS.
