Plus decus Honori.
Pierce grown to yeares, maintain's a Page at's heelesThat must attend, and tell him what's a clocke:
When hee from Trulls & Tauernes homeward reeles,
And in short time consum'd and spent his stocke.
Yet biddes prouide gainst night some other toye,
Whiles belching hee repose his head that's giddie;
Then waking calls, Fill some Tobacco Boye:
That done, Goe see if Supper be made readie.
Which hee not hauing wherewith to discharge,
(Nor daring futther runne vpon the score:)
Intreats the Uintner with discourse at large,
Vpon his Cloake to lend him so much more.
Nor meanes hee thence till midnight part away,
And keepe his bedde vntill next Quarter day.
