Epitaph upon a Weaver.
Here lyes a Weaver, whom that Turk,And Tyrant Death turn'd out of Work.
115
He's out of bonds, would I were so.
Alas he sold Chamelion ware,
By which he sav'd scarce ought but air.
Gone, quoth he! pray, how should he stay?
Such gain will drive us all away.
Well, 'twas a sad and suddain change,
And yet to me 'tis nothing strange.
For tradings dead, and Wares will give
No price at all, how could he live?
