Poem by John Heywood

A Praise of One

See how some above some other praises win –
I praise thee for one thing above all thy kin.
They, without teaching could never practice ought;
Thou canst play the knave, and never was taught.

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?
