Next him in dance came Covetice,

Root of all evil and ground of vice,

That never could be content,

Caitiffs, wretches, and ockerars,[32]

Hood-pikes,[33] hoarders, and gatherers,

All with that warlock went.

Out of their throats they shot on other

Hot molten gold, methought, a fother,[34]

As fire-flaucht[35] most fervènt;

Aye as they tumit[36] them of shot,

Fiends fill'd them new up to the throat

With gold of all kind prent.[37]
