<br>
Jacob—a pox on the man, riddled with the French measles, born under the sign of Mercury, his apothecary hath made free with his member, and silver-tipped it for a warning to all harlots, not to take his silver, an’ they wish to preserve themselves to earn more silver yet; but silver for silver is the usual exchange in this our fleshly world—is the winner. Take it away, Jacob!<br>
