IN COSMUM. XVII.
12 lines✦
osmus hath more discoursing in his headThan Jove when Pallas issu'd from his brain;And still he strives to be deliverËdOf all his thoughts at once; but all in vain;For, as we see at all the playhouse-doors,When ended is the play, the dance, and song,A thousand townsmen, gentlemen, and whores,Porters, and serving-men, together throng,--So thoughts of drinking, thriving, wenching, war,And borrowing money, ranging in his mind, 10To issue all at once so forward are,As none at all can perfect passage find.
