12. A Roaring Boy.

Thou do'st coniure me, I confesse thou art
a Sparke, or rather Flash of Chiualry;
If that thou hadst as good, as great a heart,
or were thy madnesse mixt with modesty:
Thy best discourses are but complements,
Thy mighty Oathes confirme small arguments;
Thou fearst' no mortall wight, and yet we see,
A silly Watchman often Counters thee.
