 | The Mastive, or Young-Whelpe of the Olde-Dogge |  |
Non omnibus idem.
Young Lalus deales on light commodities,Of choysest Gyrles he safely can bring forth:
But yet respectlesse proues to peoples eyes,
As if he were some great mans sonne of worth.
Consorts with Gallants, stands on's reputation,
Eates of the best and daintiest can be sold:
Scornes to be ranckt with men of occupation,
That are not Gentiles like himselfe enrold.
Aske how he liues; hee tels the vulgar sort,
By play, by knowledge, trauell and commerce,
Of which he makes a sad and long report,
Which they thinke simply, without more reherse:
But to the wise and worthy vnderstander,
He prostrate proues your priuate sports-Commander.
