[Monsieur Domingo is a skilfull man]

Monsieur Domingo is a skilfull man,
For much experience he hath lately got,
Prouing more Phisick in an Alehouse can
Then may be found in any Vintners pot.
Beere he protestes is sodden and refin'd,
But this he speakes being single penny lyn'd.
For when his purse is swolne dut six-pence bigge
Why then he sweares; now by the Lorde I thinke
All Beere in Europe is not worth a figge.
A cuppe of Claret is the onely drinke.
And thus his praise from Beere to Wine doth goe
Euen as his Purse in pence doth ebbe and flowe.
