[When Caualero Rake-hell is to rise]

When Caualero Rake-hell is to rise
Out of his bed, he capers light and heddy.
Then wounds he sweares: you arant whore he cries
Why what's the cause that breakfast is not reddy?
Can men feede like Camelions, on the ayre?
This is the manner of his morning prayer.
Well, he sweares on, vntill his breakfast comes,
And then with teeth he falles to worke a pace:
Leauing his boy a banquet all of crummes.
Dispatch you Roague: my Rapier, thats his grace.
So foorth he walkes, his stomacke must goe shift,
To dine and suppe abroad, by deed of guift.
