On Rutt the Iudge
From Poems on Several Occasions (1689)
History & Politics
Rvtt, to the Suburb Beauties full well known,
Was from the bag scarce crept into a Gown,
When he, by telling of himself fine tales,
Was made a Judge, and sent away to Wales:
'Twas proper and most fit it should be so,
Whither should Goats but to the Mountains go?
