Thus the Poor man, is the Beast they hunt: who must rise early, rest late, eat the Bread of sorrow, sit with many a hungry meal, perhaps his Children crying for Food, whiles all the fruit of his pains is served in to Nimrods Table. Complain of this whiles you will, yet as the Orator said of Verres: Pecuniosus nescit damnari. Indeed a Money-man may not be damnified, but he may be damned.
