EPIG. 13. Signieur Fantasticke.

I scorne to meete an enemie in fielde,
Except he be a Souldier: (by this light)
I likewise scorne, my reason for to yeelde:
Yea further, I do well nigh scorne to fight.
Moreouer, I do scorne to be so vaine,
To draw my Rapier, and put vp againe.
I eke do scorne to walke without my man,
Yea, and I scorne good morrow and good deane:
I also scorne to touch an Ale-house cann,
Thereto I scorne an ordinarie Queane.
Thus doth he scorne, disdainfull, proude, and grim,
All but the Foole onely, he scornes not him,
