Dead and alive: this ditty out of Glocestershire was sent, to London, for to have it put in print: therefore draw near, and listen unto this, it doth concern a man that did amiss; and so to shun the anger of his wife, he thought with poyson for to end his life: but instead of poyson he drank sack, for which his wife did soundly pay's back. To the tune of, Old flesh, &c.
