Soluat utcunque Senex.
Old Squinto deales with's Wench not like a strangerThough comes perhaps but once a Weeke, or so:
T'is knowne he keeps her still at Rack and manger
Whether shee loue or loath him yea, or no.
He payes for all she spends, and eates, or drinkes:
Allowes her Horse and Coach to ryde at pleasure,
Yea what shee best for recreation thinkes,
That bids her vse, and chuse againe at pleasure.
Thus doth the Dotard dull and detestable,
Make others doe what hee himselfe's not able.
