HIS EPITAPH.

_Here lies a Man who would not Warning take,_

_And now for others may a Warning make:_

_He spent his Substance upon _Bawds_ and _Whores_,_

_Destroy'd his Wife, turn'd's Children out of Doors._

_And yet when all was spent, and he grown Poor,_

_He was forsaken both by _Bawd_ and _Whore_._

_Let all henceforth of _Bawds_ and _Whores_ beware,_

_By whom he was betray'd to black Despair._

_Thus Reader, by this Story thou may'st see_

_How by Lewd Women Men deluded be:_

_The _Bawd's_ the Setter, and the Shameless _Whore__

_Sucks him so dry, she quickly makes him Poor._

_First of his Wit, then of his Wealth bereaves him;_

_And when she has got all she can, she leaves him._

_Then let all Mankind loath this filthy Jade,_

_Since Ruin and Destruction is her Trade._
