Epig. 195. Against the baudy-Wittold Lotus.
King Harry lou'd a man, els Lotus lyes,And that he lou'd a Woman none denies.
Why then he lou'd a man and woman too;
But lou'd them passing well that well could Doe.
Go too then Lotus, sith you are a dooer,
As is your louely wife (much good may do her)
He would haue made her rise, if she had sunck,
And lou'd you for a Pander; she a Punck.
