Of two desperate Men

A Man in déepe dispaire with Hemp in hand
Went out in haste to ende his wretched daies:
And where he thought the Gallo trée should stand
He found a Pot of Gold: he goes his waies
Therewith eftsoone, and in exchaunge he left
The Rope wherewith he would his breath bereft.

The gréedie Carle came within a space
That owde the good, and saw the Pot behind
Where Ruddocks lay, and in the Ruddocks place
A knottie Cord, but Ruddocks could not find:
He caught the Hemp and hoong himselfe on trée,
For griefe that he is Treasure could not see.
