Poet Analysis

First Line: GOES THE WORLD NOW, IT WILL WITH THEE GOE HARD
Last Line: WHO IS PENURIOUS, HE SHALL STILL BE POORE.
Subject(s): POVERTY;
Goes the world now, it will with thee goe hard:
The fattest Hogs we grease the more with Lard.
To him that has, there shall be added more;
Who is penurious, he shall still be poore.
