Classic Poem

Of Rombus his desire of equality.

E PIG . 233.

Money doth serue vs to none other vse
Then to make equall Earths vnequall thinges;
To feede on mony all men do refuse,
Yet moneys want the backe and belly brings
Together close; so then when rich men fast
(To fat their purse and make their panches leane)
They make themselues vnequal at the last
Vnto their equalls, by a wretched meane;
 But Rombus to auoid abuse of coyne,
 To equall rich men, from them doth purloine.
