In Faustum
From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)
Social Commentaries
Faustus, nor lord, nor knight, nor wise, nor old,
To euery place about the towne doth ride;
He rides into the fields, Playes to behold,
He rides to take boat at the water side:
He rides to Pauls', he rides to th' Ordinary
He rides unto the house of bawdery too,--
Thither his horse doth him so often carry,
That shortly he will quite forget to goe.
