On Reformed Gam'ster

XXI.
 ? ON REFORMED GAMESTER.
  
   Lord, how is GAMESTER chang'd !  his hair close cut,
 His neck fenced round with ruff, his eyes half shut !
 His clothes two fashions off, and poor !  his sword
 Forbid his side, and nothing, but the word,
 Quick in his lips !  Who hath this wonder wrought?
 The late ta'en bastinado.
  So I thought.
 What several ways men to their calling have !
 The body's stripes, I see, the soul may save.
