Poem by John Heywood

Of Good News to a Man

“What news?” “Good news for thee as wit can scan;
We have news that thou art an honest man.
This news coming even now thus fresh and new,
All men take for good; no man taketh for true.”

1. Of Holding an Inn
2. Of a Hand-gun and a Hand
3. Of Treading a Shoe Awry
4. A Loss by the Devil’s Death. Otherwise. 4. The devil is dead: who shall his land rightly win?
5. Of Red Roses
