From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Mounsieur Luxurio hath bene with a Puncke,
Whereby his Worships purse is shrowdly shrunke.
And now for pennance of his former ryet,
With good Duke Humfry he must take his dyet.
Thus with a crosseles purse and meatles maw,
his case quite past the helpe of Law.
