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 |  |
That which was, nere lou'd the Fryer.
There vvas a Time, yea, yea, a time there vvas,(But that that vvas, the Fryer neuer lou'd)
When he vvas held a Beast that vvas an Asle,
But novv an Asse is often best approu'd:
If Beasts approued, be approued best,
This is a beastly world that men detest.
