The Fatal Dowry
He in his life, become indebted to

These thriftie men, I will not wrong their credits,

By giuing them the attributes they now merit,

And fayling by the fortune of the warres,

Of meanes to free himselfe, from his ingagements, [70]

He was arrested, and for want of bayle

Imprisond at their suite: and not long after

With losse of liberty ended his life.

And though it be a Maxime in our Lawes,

All suites dye with the person, these mens malice [75]

In death find matter for their hate to worke on,

Denying him the decent Rytes of buriall,

Which the sworne enemies of the Christian faith

Grant freely to their slaues; may it therefore please

Your Lordships, so to fashion your decree, [80]

That what their crueltie doth forbid, your pittie

May giue allowance to.

Nou. Se. How long haue you Sir Practis’d in Court? 

How long haue you Sir

Practis’d in Court?
