| And in that nice and Narrow way of Verse | B |
| As oft they lend so oft they must be Debters | B |
| If with the Muses they will haue commerce | B |
| Seldome at Stawles me this way men rehearse | B |
| To mine Inferiours not unto my Betters | B |
| He stales his Lines that so doeth them disperse | B |
| I am so free I loue not Golden fetters | B |
