The Courtier.

Now heav'n preserve mine eye-sight, what is here,
A man made up in wainscot? now I sweare
I tooke him for some Colosse; sure I erre,
This is not he, yes, 'tis the Courtier:
Brave Pun-te vallo, for those Armes he beares,
An Asse head rampant, and that chaine he weares,
By blest S. Martin, doe descrie it's he;
Well, I'le observe his carriage narrowly.
