Epig. X. In Fabium.

Behold the little great man, Fabius comes,
Litle in wit and great in wealthie summes;
But why doth wealthie Fabius walke alone,
When many men for seruice make such mone,
That the west gate of Paules great Ile (poore hearts)
In paper daily speakes their better parts?
T'is said, his legges that garter-loaded reeles,
And very shooe-ties fright men from his heeles,
This then the cause Paules gate for seruice begs,
Fabius weares seruingmen vpon his legs.
