Two-penny-worth of wit for a penny. or, the bad husband turn'd thrifty this man that wrought his own decay, and spent his money night and day; is turn'd so saving i do swear, there's few that with him can compare and lives so civil in his ways, that all his neighbours give him praise, and does repent his wicked crime, and desires good fellows to turn in time; there's many a man runs himself clear out, when ale's in his head, then wit is out.
