tinking say,
Who can hold that, my friends, that will away?
430. OBSERVATION.
Who to the north, or south, doth set
His bed, male children shall beget.
433. PUTREFACTION.
Putrefaction is the end
Of all that nature doth intend.
434. PASSION.
Were there not a matter known,
There would be no passion.
435. JACK AND JILL.
Since Jack and Jill both wicked be;
It seems a wonder unto me,
That they, no better do agree.
436. UPON PARSON BEANES.
Old Parson Beanes hunts six days of the week,
And on the seventh, he has his notes to seek.
Six days he hollows so much breath away,
That on the seventh, he can nor preach or pray.
438. SHORT AND LONG BOTH LIKES.
