Satire 37.

[Prince Pluto king ath' stincking stigian Lake]

Prince Pluto king ath' stincking stigian Lake,
Finding himself not well, his will would make,
In which, this wealthy & all-worthy man,
In that his Will, to this effect begann.
Quoth he; Imprimis here I doe decree,
That Pride my first-borne sonne a Courtier bee.
Enjoyning Enuie and Ambition still
(As yonger brothers should t'attende his will.
But as for Sloath and Avarice (quoth hee)
Those will I haue in learning brought-vp bee.
Where Gluttonie my yongest sonn of all,
Shall waite one them, attentive at their call.
But now my daughter Luste, then shakes his head,
Oh! hir I'de faine see place't ere I were dead.
Hir, hir (quoth hee), if I could but bestowe,
Then I'de not care how soone I went below.
Courtiers are bad: Towns-men are often naught,
And Contrey-men (quoth he) are most vntaught.
Therefore on these shee's plainly cast awaye:
Oh! my deare Luste (quoth he,) what shall I saie?
Why faith (quoth he,) 'fore shalt be quite vndone,
I'le see thee made my selfe an honest Nunn
Soe putting hir 'mongst holly Nunnes to dwell,
His body dies, and's soule departs to hell.
