Epigram 24: Drusus his portion gallantly hath spent

Drusus his portion gallantly hath spent,
What though? he did it to a good entent.
Vnto a wise man it seemes neuer strange,
That men should put their mony to exchange.
Nay then I see he was a subtill Fox,
What had he for't I pray? sweet Sir the Pox.
I doe not like his bargaine: why, wherefore?
His mony still wan'd lesse, his pox wax more.
He need not now feare wasting of his stocks,
Spend what he can he nere shall want the pox.
