Epig. 66. Against Rufus his throwing at all.
At all quoth Rufus, set ye what ye dare:Il'e throw at all, and 't vvere a pecke of Gold:
No life lies on't, then Coyne Ile neuer spare:
Why, Rufus, that's the cause that all is sold:
For, with francke Gamesters, it doth oft befall:
They throw at all, till throwne quite out of all.
