Poem by John Heywood

To the Flatterer

Thy flattering of me, this followeth thereupon: 
Other thou art a fool, or else I am one. 
Where flattery appeareth, at least by wise men’s school, 
The flatterer, or the flattered, is a fool.

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?
