Epig. XXV.
Amongst the pack of knaues, which is the chiefe;Your breaker, broker, vsurer, or thief?
I know, thta many men your thiefe will say;
For in this age, your great rich wise man may
Breake, yet be whole and compleat as before:
Whereas your thiefe, a thiefe is euermore.
Thus from your thiefe the breaker th' odds must haue,
To be your wise, rich, great and compleat knaue.
