57. The Gyant.
I'm but a man, though I in length exceed.The Dwarfe.
Though I want length, a Man I am indeed.
The Gyant to the Dwarfe.
My Syre out-shot the marke, begetting me.
Thy Father shot too short, when he made thee.
The Dwarfe to the Gyant.
Although short shooting often lose the game,
To ouer-shoot the marke, is as much shame.
