A great obseruer.

Will you of Vinolentus gladly know
Why he is drunck, this reason he will shew:


Because those fashions heele obserue and see,
In his associates as druncke as he.
Will you likewise inquire (when he is druncke)
Why he doth range the purleys for a puncke:
He will resolue you thus, for to descrie
A whore in fashion and in qualitie.
But Vinolentus tell the truth for shame,
And do not more pollute thy hatefull name:
Thou art not druncke each humor to behold,
But thou art druncke to make thy vice more bold.
Thou doest not visite whores to note their fashions,
But to be deepely knowne in their transgressions:
Well, drinck, be drunck, proceed & catch the Fox,
Hunt all the purleyes ouer for the P.
