Social Commentaries

Signeor Serano, to and fro doth range,
And at high noone he visits the Exchange:
With stately gate the peopled Burse he stalkes,
Prying for some acquaintance in those walkes.
Which if he spie, note but his strange salute,
Marke how heele spread to shew his broaking sute,
When he perhaps that owde this cast apparell,
Not a fortnight since at Tyburne fought a quarell.
