IN LEUCAM. 14.

Leuca, in Presence once, a fart did let;

Some laught a little; she refus'd[40] the place;

And mad with shame, did then[41] her gloue forget,

Which she return'd to fetch with bashfull grace;

And when she would haue said, "I've lost my gloue,"[42]

My fart (qd. she:) which did more laughter moue.

[Footnote 41: Isham 'eke.' G.]

[Footnote 42: Mr. Dyce says here "something has dropt out," the line

being a foot short, I have supplied 'I've lost.' G.]
