 | Democritus, or Doctor Merry-man his Medicines |  |
[One dying, left three sonnes]
One dying, left three sonnesWhom he aduise did giue,
Of what profession to make choyce,
Whereby they best might liue.
Vnto the first he said,
Law, will be good for thee,
I know as long as there be men,
Some wranglers stil will be.
The second he did wish
A Chanons life to chuse,
For when as others weepe and mourne,
Why thōu shalt singing vse.
And to the third he said:
Physicke for thee is fit,
For earth will smother all the faults
Physitians do commit.
