Fall of a wall. |
|
Vnder an undermin'd, and shot-bruis'd wall |
A too-bold Captaine perish'd by the fall, |
Whose brave misfortune happiest men envi'd, |
That had a towre for tombe, his bones to hide. |
|
A lame beggar. |
|
I am unable, yonder begger cries, |
To stand, or move; if he say true, he lies. |
|
A selfe-accuser. |
|
Your mistris, that you follow whores still taxeth you, |
'Tis strange that she should thus confesse it, though'it be true. |
|
A licentious person. |
|
Thy sinnes and hayres may no man equall call, |
For, as thy sinnes increase, thy haires doe fall. |
|
Antiquary. |
|
If in his studie he hath so much care |
To'hang all old strange things, let his wife beware. |
|
Disinherited. |
|
Thy father all from thee, by his last Will |
Gave to the poore; Thou hast good title still.
