Men ouertoild in Common-Wealth affaires
Gett much Tantalian wealth by wealthie paines:
Which they enioy not through vncessant Cares:
So, all their Comfort is in Care, and Gaines
Good reason then, that they should care to gett,
Who gett great Cares, by getting great Comands:
That will not let them sleepe, sith sleepe thy lett:
For, who sleeps well in Bands, though Golden Bands?
Well fare they then with glittering Miseries:
Though they fare costly, yet they coldly fare:
That feede on nought, but what doth feede the Eyes,
And cloy their Stomackes with consuming Care
Care for such Gaudies who so list for mee,
Sith Commons much more Common better bee.
