Poem by John Heywood

Of Things Unlike

Like will to like, men say; but not always so: 
Contrary to contrary ofttimes doth go. 
When folk be most open, their low parts most loose, 
Then go they to stools that be made most close.

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