IN BRUNUM. 32.

Brunus, which deems himselfe a faire sweet youth

Is thirty nine yeares of age at least;

Yet was he neuer, to confesse the truth,

But a dry starveling when he was at best:

This gull was sicke to shew his night-cap fine,

And his wrought pillow over-spread with lawne;

But hath been well since his griefe's cause hath line[87]

At Trollup's by Saint Clement's Church, in pawne.
