Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...sence and soules are set to sale, While hoorders heape that naked people need: And for the gaine but of a simple groat, One man wil seeke to cut another throate. What is there here that can content the hart? That knowes content or what it doth containe: What thought so sweet but brings as sower a smart? What pleasure such but breeds a greater paine?
