 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 67. Against Seruus his conformity.
Seruus is like a durty soft-knit hoseThat serues each leg; and he as firly serues
The seruile turnes, and humors base or those
Whose fauours anyway his state preserues:
Stockings are chaste and knockt; if sild with muda;
And so must he, els be will ne're be good.
