Against Tuballus his time-keeping in his ill rule keeping.

E PIG . 136.

I' VBALLUS keepes his houres, obseruing times
As if he were a watch, a clock, or chimes:
At noone, he hies him roundly to the tauverne,
And there (as king) that common-wealth doth gouerne
Till nine at night; then to the alehouse goes,
And there a world of matter vndergoes
Till two next following; then to bedd he hies
And sleepes till noone; and then he doth arise;
So to the tauerne, as he did before,
And there till nine at night hee labours sore;
Then to the ale, for customes sake hee wends,
And there till two, time, coyne, and ale hee spends;
And then to bedd, and there till noone he sleepes,
Then vp to drinke: thus houres he duly keepes:
 But keepes no house nor cannot keepe his house
 For keeping howres, and whoores, and this abuse.
