Plus mendax, Mendicus.
Dacus giues out for payment of his debts,He shall a wondrous wealthy Widdow wed:
Which 'mongst his Creditors much hope begets,
That constant are 'twill be accomplished.
Meane while young Dacus takes vp ten times more,
Tells them the mariage day is short at hand,
When hee'll no lesse then double all restore,
Which neede no question now of Bill or Band.
But Dacus makes it a more gulling toy,
Then that old Cosenage of new Englands-ioy.
