[Roome is a taker, Poets say]

Roome is a taker, Poets say,
And lawyers are so too, you see
Roome is a taker by my fate,
No learned man can disagree,
And roome shall take, beleeue well me,
At least till something, no where be.

A variation of the first riddle. So that here is not meant, any thing of the citie Rome. But onely roome or place, viz. the hollow capacitie of one bodie conteining or comprehending another.
