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 Alchymists and Satyrists.
As conterfet coyning is put vpon Alchimists,So Libelling lightly is set vpon Satyrists:
But as the one makes Lead, Siluer at least:
So, the other would make a Man of a Beast.
By heat of strange Fires,
They seeke their desires.
