Of Pontilianus.
When flamyng Phœbus with his heat,doth cause the ground to chinke,
Straight wayes Pontilian thirstie cries,
boy hither hie with drinke.
When so it raines, lo now saith he,
God warnes vs to carowse:
Which all aboute the ground doth so
with sleet and showers souse.
So gullyng thus, in sunne nor showers
his drinke is not forgot:
And somwhat still he hath to say,
why he should tosse the pot.
