Poem by John Heywood

Bowing and Breaking

Better bow than break: I praise this that ye spake;
But some bend, or be bent and bowed, till they break.

1. Of Holding an Inn
2. Of a Hand-gun and a Hand
3. Of Treading a Shoe Awry
4. What God Said to One. Otherwise. Thou art one of them to whom God bade Ho!
5. A Loss by the Devil’s Death. Otherwise. 4. The devil is dead: who shall his land rightly win?
