Epigr. 16. In Brillum.

Brillus is neither proud nor timerous,
Nor of the swearing cutt, as many be.
He is not false, he is not couetous,
115

He is not amorous, he is not he.
He is not giuen to the sinn of wine,
And yet he is not honest for all this,
How euer secretly he doth decline.
I cannot but commend him for the misse.
