| Wades Reformation, / To all good Fellows in this Nation. / Wherein he doth show to'th old and to'th young, / To beware of false hearts, and a flattering tongue, / For they be two evils, and will bring you thither / Where the Devil and the Hostis went together. / But he has spent all and you plainly may see, / That 'tis poverty parts good company. | |
