Social Commentaries
Timon is sicke of seuen which deadly be.
And yet not like to die for ought I see.
He hath the soggie sinn of Ale and cakes.
He hath the sinn of lace and fustniapes,
He hath the seeing sinn the heartes great'st woe.
And yet he hath the sinn, of winken to.
He hath the sparrowes sinn, & these which follow,
He hath, he hath, the redd sinn and the yellow.
