[When flounder-flapping Termagant was slaine]

When flounder-flapping Termagant was slaine,

59

The smug-fac'd Cerberus did howle and yell,
And Polyphemus rid in Charles his Waine,
Whilst Gorgons head rung great Alcides knell,
The rip-rap-riffe-raffe, thwick thwack stout Baboon
Gripes in his downy clutch the spungy Oake,
And young Andromeda at night rings noone,
Whilst Asdrubal at tick tack lost his cloake.
Prometheus couering the Vmbranoes head,
And Typhon tumbles through the solid Ayre:
Proud Pegasus on Cheese and Garlick fed,
And Proserpina went to Sturbidge faire.
Pope Hildebrand bade Pluto home to supper,
And Don Diegoes horse hath broke his crupper.
