Epig. 69. Pecunia potest omnia.

On franticke Fiscus.

The proverbe is, Dame Mony can do All;
It instigats the Theefe to kill and steale.
It Spurres the Merchant On, to Round the Ball
Of this vast Orbe, to'enrich his Common-weale.
What can it not? It causeth vs runne mad,
And Fifcus too, being therewith overclad.
