III. _The Souldier._

My occupation is, the noble trade of Kings,

The tryall that decides the highest right of things:

Though _Mars_ my master be, I doe not _Venus_ loue,

Nor honour _Bacchus_ oft, nor often sweare by _Ioue_;

Of speaking of my selfe, I all occasion shunne,

And rather loue to doe, then boast what I haue done.
