The couetous carle, compated to a Mule.
The churlishe chuffe, that hath enoughin Coffer lockt and laied:
And liueth harde, with Baken swarde,
a Mule maie well be saied.
Mules carrie coine, and iewelles ofte,
plate, golde, and riche arraie,
Greate treasure: yet they droylyng drudge,
and feede on homely haie.
