Dead and alive. This ditty out of Glocester-shire 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 in the stead of poyson he drank sack, for which his wife did soundly pay his back. To the tune of, Old flesh.
