Poem by John Heywood

Of Hogstown

The head man in Hogstown, hogherd is expressed;
Where hogs be parishioners, hogherd must be best.
Yet hogshead in Hogstown is no John-a-droin, 
Pigs dare not quich there, if hogshead hang the groin.

4. What God Said to One. Otherwise. Thou art one of them to whom God bade Ho!
5. A Reward to a Service Man
