Against Lubus his indirect purchasing and greedy gathering.

E PIG . 246.

G O too now Lubus make no more a doe
But tell me where and when and how you came
By all the lands, and goods, and money too
Which now you haue: you were not left the same
Though it were left before you came by it:
Yet was it left you in some other fashion
Then sires do leaue their sonnes their wealth or wit;
For that is due vnto the generation
Two thousand pound a yeere (though pounds were rife)
By meanes direct is very hard to finde
Within the narrow compasse of one life;
Although one serchèd till he brake his winde.
Therefore by all meanes you must come by it
Saue those alone that tend to happy ends;
Be happy Lubus, then, while time doth fit,
The time will come you shall be made amends
For all your paines; for you great paines do take
To damne your soule, your sonne a Sir to make.
 And when you change your false goods for true euils
 See how your sonne (Sir) will ore rule Sir Diuells.
