Ad Gargilianum Epig. 30.

No money's payd, yet gratis eat'st my cheare,
But when at Rome (Gargilian) what dost there?
Whence hast thou house-rent? or whence a coat?
How canst thou pay thy wench? whence hast a groat?

24

Though with much reason thou art said to live,
Yet how thou dost it none can reason give.
