The Challenge.
Sir, stead of Lord, take these in shortest way;Your Saucy, foul Affronts orepass'd, I say,
Strong Ground enough for Challenge this shall prove,
Presumpteous Thoughts to Court Clermanthe's Love:
If that Disclaim'd; then I shall Draw howere
For th' Praisant part in Words, Chastise you there.
Meet me if you dare, by Five, &c.
