Democritus, or Doctor Merry-man his Medicines | ||
[A wealthy Misers Sonne, vpon the way]
A wealthy Misers Sonne, vpon the wayMet a poore youth, that did entreat and pray
Something of charity in his distresse,
Help sir (quoth he) one that is fatherlesse:
Sirrah (sayde he) away: be gone with speede,
Ile help none such; thou art a Knaue indeed.
Dost thou complayne because thou want'st a father,
Were it my case I would reioyce the rather,
For if thy Fathers death, cause the repine,
I would my Father had excused thine.
