In Fuscum. 39.
Fuscus is free, and hath the world at will;Yet, in the course of life that he doth lead,
He's like a horse which, turning round a mill,
Doth always in the self-same circle tread:
First, he doth rise at ten; and at eleuen
He goes to Gyls, where he doth eate till one;
Then sees a Play till sixe; and sups at seven;
And, after supper, straight to bed is gone;
And there till ten next day he doth remaine,
And then he dines; and sees a Comedy;
And then he suppes, and goes to bed againe;
Thus round he runs without variety,
Saue that sometimes he comes not to the Play,
But falls into a whore-house by the way.
