[Varius the traueller who doth not know]

Varius the traueller who doth not know,
That has bin further than any map can show,
Or ventrous Drake, Haukins, or Forbisher;
None ere receiu'd like grace of the Emperor,
The Sophie & he sworne brothers, twas his lot,
To drinke carouse in Solymans owne pot,
Yet here he staid not long, but still went on,
To take acquaintance of great Prastor Iohn,
Where he was welcome, and it was his chance,
To kisse his empresse, and with his daughter dance,
His lies are monstrous great, and yet but young,
Gargantua sure was father of his Tounge.
