When Pimp's feet sweat, as they do often use, There springs a soap-like lather in his shoes. 1116. UPON LUSK. In Den'shire Kersey Lusk, when he was dead, Would shrouded be and therewith buried. When his assigns asked him the reason why, He said, because he got his wealth thereby. 1117. FOOLISHNESS. In's Tusc'lans, Tully doth confess, No plague there's like to foolishness. 1118. UPON RUSH. Rush saves his shoes in wet and snowy weather; And fears in summer to wear out the leather; This is strong thrift that wary Rush doth use Summer and winter still to save his shoes. 1124. THE HAG. The staff is now greas'd; And very well pleas'd, She cocks out her arse at the parting, To an old ram goat That rattles i' th' throat, Half-choked with the stink of her farting. In a dirty hair-lace She leads on a brace Of black boar-cats to attend her: Who scratch at the moon, And threaten at noon Of night from heaven for to rend her. A-hunting she goes, A cracked horn she blows, At which the hounds fall a-bounding; While th' moon in her sphere Peeps trembling for fear, And night's afraid of the sounding. _Lace_, leash. _Boar-cat_, tom-cat.
