98 Against promoting Lynus.
Thou, Linus, that louest still to be promoting,Because I sport, about King Henries marriage:
Think'st this will proue a matter worth the carriage.
But let it alone, Lynus, it is no booting,
While Princes liue, who speakes, or writes & teaches
Against their faults, may pay for speech, and writing:
But being dead, dead men, they say, leaue biting:
Their eyes are seal'd, their armes haue little reaches.
Children they are, and fooles that are afeard,
To pull, and play, with a dead Lyons beard.
