Epig. 2 In Daconem

The Diuel and Dacon both by chance did meete,
With congies faire either did other greete,
The Diuel would dice, but Dacon had no crowns
Dacon his soule pledg'd for a thousand pounds;
Dacon could cogge, and so the Diuell paid
His thousand pounds, a thousand more yet had:
Is cogging then I pray you such an euil?
Nay, ti's a quid dit how to cheate the Deuill.
