The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington | ||
41 Sir Iohn Bauynsfords choyce of a man.
Rainsford , whose acts were many times outragiousHad speciall care, to haue his men couragious:
A certaine friend of his one day began,
Vnto his seruice to commend a man,
One well approued, he said, in many iarres,
Whereof in head armes, hands, remain'd the skarres,
The Knight the man, his markes and manners view'd,
And flat refusing him, did thus conclude:
This is no man for me, but I suppose,
He is a tall fellow that gaue him all these blowes.
