Against Flaccus the great House-keeper.

F LACCUS , they say, doth keepe too great an house;
 They say but sooth herein, his house is so:
But he therein keepes neither man nor mouse,
For there is meate for neither: so, they go
 From him, though he doth keepe a house too great;
 But it he keepes without myce, men or meat.
