Fancies and Pantasticks. 437From a fool, and serious toyes,From a Lawyer three parts noise ;From impertinence like a DrumBeat at dinner in his room,From a tongue without a file,Heaps of Phrases and no stile,From a Fiddler out of tune,As the Cuckoo is in June.From a Lady that doth breathWorse above, than underneath.From the bristles of a Hog,Or the ring-worm in a Dog:From the courtship of a bryer,Or St. Anthonies old fire.From the mercy of some Jaylors,From the long bills of all Taylors,From Parasites that will stroak us,From morsells that will choak us,From all such as purses cut,From a filthy durty slut,From Canters and great eaters,From Patentees and Cheaters,From men with reason tainted,From women which are painted,From all far-fetch'd new fangles,From him that ever wrangles,From rotten Cheese, and addle Eggs,From broken shins and gowty Legs,From a Pudding hath no end,From bad men that never mend,
