 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 146. Of Milo the great eater, not long since, in Chester.
Milo , that with his bare Hand slewe a Bull,And on his shoulders bare, bore him away;
Who, that same day, his flesh from Bones did pull
And all deuour'd, as some good Authors say;
Cannot compare with Charles, not Charles the great,
Yet greate for eating of greate store of meat.
