THE CHECK.
Shallany man for whose dear love anotherHas thrown away his wealth and name in one,Shall he turn scoffer of a more than brother,To mock his needs when his desires are done?Or shall a low-born boy whose mother won himIn great men great concerns his little place,Turn, when his farthing honours come upon him,To note her yeoman air and conscious grace?Then mock me as you do my narrow scope,For you it was put out this light of mine,Traitrously wrecked my new adventured hope,Wasted my wordy wealth, spilt my rich wine,Made my square ship within a league of shore,Alas! to be entombed in seas and seen no more.
