Epig. 187.
[A gallant, at a Play, that vsde to brall]
A gallant, at a Play, that vsde to brall,Abus'd as many as but neere him came:
At last they fell on him, while they could fall,
Till they, by Death had made that Tiger tame.
For which some were attach'd as Murderers:
(Though them on him he with strong hand did draw)
So with the cheife, were some cheife furtherers
Arraignd, Condemnd, and so trust vp by law.
Thus he (like Sampson) on him and his foes,
Puld a whole house, to both their ouer-throwes.
