_In Petrum auricidam._ Joan. xviii. 10.
Quantumcunque ferox tuus hic, Petre, fulminat ensis,
Tu tibi jam pugnas, o bone, non Domino.
Scilicet in miseram furis implacidissimus aurem,
Perfidiae testis ne queat esse tuae.
_On St. Peter cutting off Malchus his eare._
Well, Peter, dost thou wield thy active sword;
Well for thyselfe, I meane, not for thy Lord.
To strike at eares is to take heed there bee
No witnesse, Peter, of thy perjury. CR.
