From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 2
Social Commentaries
Laetus would begge of me I knowe not what,
But first he couenants, denye not me.
Nay Laetus begge me then if I grant that.
If I will binde my selfe to sett you free.
Twere well if after asking you might haue it
But you will haue a thing before ye craue it.
