[When Thraso meets his friend, he sweares by God]

When Thraso meets his friend, he sweares by God,
Vnto his Chamber he shall welcome be:
Not that hee'le cloy him there with rost or sod,
Such vulgar diet with Cookes shops agree:
But hee'le present most kinde, exceeding franke,
The best Tabacco, that he euer dranke.
Such as himselfe did make a voyage for,
And with his owne hands gatherd from the ground
All that which other fetch he doth abhor,
His, grew vpon an Iland neuer found,
Oh rare compound, a dying horse to choke,
Of English fier, and of India smoke.
