A looking-glass for a bad husband: or, A caveat for a spend-thrift. : You that are guilty of that sinful crime of drunkenness, strive for to leave it off in time: lay up your money, do not it vainly spend; for in your greatest need, it will be your best friend. Endeavour in your youth, lest in old age you want; for when the poverty doth come, friends will be scant. To the tune of, The poor man's comfort: or, Digby. /
