r throng,-- So thoughts of drinking, thriuing, wenching, warre, And borrowing money, raging, in his mind; To issue all at once so forward are, As none at all can perfect passage find.
IN FLACCUM. 18.
The false knave Flaccus once a bribe I gaue: The more foole I to bribe so false a knaue: But he gaue back my bribe; the more foole he, That for my folly did not cousen me.
IN CINEAM. 19.
Thou dogg?d Cineas, hated like a dogge, For still thou grumblest like a masty dogge, Compar'st thyself to nothing but a dogge; Thou saith thou art as weary as a dogge, As angry, sicke, and hungry as a dogge, As dull and melancholly as a dogge, As lazy, sleepy, idle as a dogge: But why dost thou compare thee to a dogge In that, for which all men despise a dogge? I will compare thee better to a dogge: Thou art as faire and comely as a dogge, Thou art as true and honest as a dogge, Thou art as kind and liberall as a dogge, Thou art as wise and valiant as a dogge. But Cineas, I have heard thee tell, Thou art as like thy father as may be; 'Tis like enough; and faith I like it well; But I am glad thou art not like to me.
IN GERONTEM. 20.
IN MARCUM. 21.
IN CIPRUM. 22.
The fine youth Ciprius is more tierse and neate, Then the new garden of the Old Temple is; And still the newest fashion he doth get, And with the time doth change from that to this; He weares a hat of the flat-crowne block, The treble ruffes, long cloake, and doublet French; He takes tobacco, and doth weare a lock, And wastes more time in dressing then a wench: Yet this new fangled youth, made for these times, Doth aboue all praise old George Gascoine's rimes?
IN CINEAM. 23.
When Cineas comes amongst his friends in morning, He slyly spies who first his cap doth moue; Him he salutes, the rest so grimly scorning, As if for euer they had lost his loue. I seeing how it doth the humour fit Of this fond gull to be saluted first, Catch at my cap, but moue it not a whit: Which to perceiuing, he seemes for spite to burst: But Cineas, why expect you more of me, Then I of you? I am as good a man, And better too by many a quality, For vault, and dance, and fence and rime I can: You keep a whore at your own charge, men tell me, Indeed friend therein you excell me.
IN GALLUM. 24.
