Similies on the same subiect.
AS fire, the more it hath, the fiercer burnes,
••o couetous minds doe alwaies craue for more.
As Bees doe flocke vnto a hony dew,
So couetous men still haunt the sente of gaine.
As greatest fish deuoure the smaller frie,
So couetous wretches feed vpon the poore.
As glurtons from them-selues can nothing spare,
So misers will let nothing passe their purse.
As without waues we neuer see the sea,
So couetous men are neuer free from cares.
As clouds do•• somtime hide the Sunnes cleare light,
So couetousnes depriues the light of grace.
