EPIG. 8.

[Sir gall-Iade, is a Horse man e'ry day]

Sir gall-Iade, is a Horse man e'ry day,
His Bootes and Spurres and Legges do neuer part;
He rides a horse as passing cleane away,
As any that goes Tyburne-warde by cart.
Yet honestly he payes for hacknyes hyer,
But hang them Iades, he sell's them when they tire,
He liues not like Diogines on Rootes,
But proues a Mince-pie guest vnto his Host.
He scornes to walke in Paules without his Bootes,
And scores his diet on the Vitlers post:
And when he knowes not where to haue his dinner
He fastes, and sweares, A glutton is a sinner.
