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.
