Epig. XXV. In Ocuum.
The worshipful Sir Ocuus deeds of pitieHaue wonne him grace in Countrie and in Citie.
For the poore wife of many a man decaid
Hath tasted his free bountie: and 'tis said
He leads a single life; that he may giue
His almes to those, that poore, yet wedded liue:
But they that thinke this Charitie, mistake;
For know 'tis only for the womans sake,
That in her husbands house by Ocuus planting,
The horne of plentie growes, and nothing's wanting.
