Epigram 16: Old Fabian by extortion and by stealth

Old Fabian by extortion and by stealth,
Hath got a huge masse of ill gotten wealth,
For which he giues God daily thankes and praise,
When twas the Deuill that did his fortunes raise.
Then since the getting of thy goods were euill,
Th'ast reason to be thankfull to the deuill,
Who very largely hath increast thy muck,
And sent them Miser Midaes golden luck.
Then thanke not God for he hath helpt thee least,
But thanke the Deuill that hath thy pelfe increast.
