MY special friend and countrie-man GetaCame to me yesterday; there remained to himA verie little monie of a small reckoning with meA good while agoe, that I might get it up; I have got it up, I bring it him. [line 5]  For I hear his master's son hath marriedA wife; I believe this present is scraped together for him.How ill it is ordered, that they who have lesse,Should alwaies add something to them that are richer?For that which he poor man spared with much adoe inchmoal [line 10]  From his own allowance, pinching his own bellie,She will snatch it all away, not consideringWith what great pains it was gotten: and besides GetaShall be charged with another present, when his mistress is brought to bed,And then with another, when the childe's birth-day shall be kept, [line 15]  When they shall initiate him: the mother shall carrie all this a∣way:The childe shall be the cause of sending. But do I not see Geta?
