MERCURIUS GALLO-BELGICUS

LIKE Esops fellow-slaves, O Mercury,
Which could do all things, thy faith is; and I
Like  Esops selfe, which nothing, I confesse
I should have had more faith, if thou hadst lesse;
Thy credit lost thy credit: 'Tis sinne to doe,
In this case, as thou wouldst be done unto,
To beleeve all: Change thy name: thou art like
Mercury in stealing, but lyest like a Greeke.
