The Scourge of Folly Consisting of satyricall Epigrams, And others in honour of many noble Persons and worthy friends, together, with a pleasant (though discordant) Descant upon most English Proverbs and others [by John Davies] |

 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Of the Printer.
The Printer praies me most vncessantly,To make some lines to lash at Lechery:
For that (sayth he) so rellish will the rest,
That they will sell, and still be in request:
For most men now (set on a merry Pin)
Laugh to see others plagued for their sin:
Then, Reader, thinke when thou seest such a Straine,
Its for the Lechers paine, and Printers gaine.
