Mores hominum = The manners of men / described in sixteen satyrs by Juvenal, as he is published in his most authentick copy, lately printed by command of the King of France ; whereunto is added the invention of seventeen designes in picture, with arguments to the satyrs ; as also explanations to the designes in English and Latine ; together with a large comment, clearing the author in every place wherein he seemed obscure, out of the laws and customes of the Romans, and the Latine and Greek histories, by Sir Robert Stapylton, Knight.

The third Designe.

HEre from ¹ Umbritius ² Juvenal receives A full account why his old friend thus leaves His Mother ³ Rome, that treates the best of hers No better then the worst of Foreiners: For if no Cheats mean-fortun'd Romans use, They grow as poor as fortune-telling ⁴ Jewes, That farm Egeria's sacred ⁵ Tenement, Fountain ⁶, and ⁷ Grove, but fell it to make rent. His ⁸ Daughter, without dow'r, her virtue now May match to one that holds his father's plough, And she live happier then a Consul's wife, Crown'd with the quiet of a Country life: Whil'st, poor or rich, at Rome a handsome ⁹ Maid Will be to some sly Grecian's lust betray'd, That gives her Physick, teaches her to dance, To sing an Ode, or read a Greek Romançe; His ¹⁰ Son too may walk lighted by the Moon, And now fear no wild rambling youth's batoon; Like some poor ¹¹ Roman, that in case he misse But one eye, will the hand that strook him kisse. No living for poor virtue in great Towns. On ¹² Carter! Have among you honest Clowns.
