IN COSMUM. 17.

Cosmus hath more discoursing in his head

Then Ioue, when Pallas issued from his braine;

And still he strives to be deliveréd

Of all his thoughts at once, but all in vaine;

For, as we see at all the play-house doores,

When ended is the play, the dance, and song,

A thousand townesmen, gentlemen, and whores,

Porters and serving-men, together throng,--

So thoughts of drinking, thriuing, wenching, warre,

And borrowing money, raging,[44] in his mind;

To issue all at once so forward are,

As none at all can perfect passage find.
