Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.

Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;
He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer,
Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care;

And yet beside to all that hunger greved,
His gates were open, and they were there relived.

Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought,
Than love united to a jealous thought.
