THE PART OF 'POORE'

Actus Imus Scӕna Ia. [Fol. 21a]
Poore.
Welcome thou instrument of liberty offreth to stab himselfe

Sly Hold hold
Poore It is a most vnthankfull office

To save a man vnwilling is to murder.
What hath this world of myne that I should covet
Longer to stay wth it? nor have you reason
Thus to detaine mee, I must greiving say it
Through mee you want what might have well sustaind you 10
And your last store scarce panteth nourishment
Vnto your selfe and sister.

Sly How truely rich

Though having nothing, for contemning all?

Poore True very wise nay rich if hee could gett

Even wth his best indeauour nourishment:
But that now wants whose rich hees only wise
T'is the receaved opinion, and what arts
Are meanly shrouded in a thred bare coate
Want theire due forme, thats a privation of it. 20
The worst of ills that is in misery
Is that it gives a man contemptible
Makes him a scoffe to every painted asse
Wch beares a golden image, every slave
Wch came into this Cytty wth bare feete
And since hath heap'd vp by mechanicke basenes
Abundant riches will contem the state
That nature brought him to and no more pitty it,
Then wisedome will a snake pin'd wth much cold

Sly you much erre 30
Poore No it is sacred truth there is not one

Who hath not circled  wth a triple brasse 
His more obdurate heart, each mandoth live [FOL. 21b] 
As hee were enemy to the whole world. 
There is a spatious distance twixt the heart, 
And tounge of every man, they speake and doe 
Nought that hath smallest coherence wth theire minds; 
They doe even strive vnto it wth theire full nerves. 

Sly Imitate theire manners
Poore You advise well I shall and digg a prey 40

From out theire frosen intrailes, wch shall nourish vs, 
Feede vs wth laughter, cramm vs full wth gold. 
I'le hold as firme antipathy wth men, 
As doe the elements amongst themselves. 

Sly they doe generate
Poore Soe will not I vnlesse a misery

And wanton spleene to laugh at it. 

Sly will force frequent troops

Of clyents, to your lure —

Poore And being well lured 50

Ile cramm them soe they shall not breath to flight. 
Let's see they may doe well if more harsh fate 
Bite not our blooming fortunes. 

Strange beene ith fashion to
Poore Whilst wee Apollo s children wch are given

To the true study of whats purely good. 
Share not the least partof it in effect. 
Our merits are defects, and only staines. 
Disgraces to mans glosse, in mans false eyes. 
The heaven of our glory shines no more,  60 
Then a faint candles light, in a proud sunn. 
Oh Iove! oh Iove! why hast thou warn'd thy thunder [?] 
It should not dare to touch Apollo's tree? 
Yet sufferest vilder more inferiour stro<a>kes 
To rend, and hammer his more loved children,  [FOL. 22a] 
To dust, to aire, to nothing, lesse then nothing. 

Strang f for what they suffer
Poore Sr I have fellowe feeling of theire ills

And or proceedes from a defect of wo<r>th, 
Or by excesse of some vild humour ioyned, 
Wch naturalists observe wthin theire subjects 
To cause a vitious forme; for more then perfect 
Is but a plurisy wch in wholsomest blood 
Breeds naught save malladyes, but being ill,  90 
It meerely is necessited to kill. 
You knowe the daunger Sr If you proceede 

Strange You cannot fright mee
Poore Now comes your cue to speake goe on and roundly
Sly not shewe his matchlesse skill
Poore You may proceed and hee may w inn by intising

 But by your pardon, you are much [deceaved] vnwise,  [FOL.22b]
