Social Commentaries
Tell me good Tom, hast thou the Lions seene?
Iacke I haue felt them: why where hast thou bene?
Where haue I not beene, ranging heere and there
And trust me Iacke Lions are euery where,
Why then thou saw'st them: foole that is no soare,
He that tels thee I felt them, tels thee more.
