Part 4:

Shall lay (on Pain of Flagellation)

(From lowest Club, to that call'd Royal,)

_close parenthesis missing from both lines_

He'el feed on a Jest, that is broke with your Wind,

_spelling unchanged_

By Swine who nee'r provide Bumfodder

_spelling unchanged (quoted in editor's introduction)_

E'er I that Suit procure.

_text has comma at end_

Professor of Dulness and Bombast. Price 6 _d._

_text reads "Picre"_

Further Notes:

Why are _Doll_'s Teeth so white, and _Susan_'s black?

The Reason soon is known.

_Doll_ buys her Teeth which she doth lack,

But _Susan_ wears her own.

This verse is a translation of Martial V.43:

_Thais habet nigros, niveos Laecania dentes

Quae ratio est? Emptos haec habet, illa suos._

_P. S. Quintus_

Pope Sixtus V (= Quintus).
