Of a Thracian lad.
A Thracian boye well tipled all the daie,Upō a frozen spring did sport and plaie:
The slipper Ice with hefte of bodies swaie,
On sodaine brake, and swapt his hed awaie:
That swam alofte, belowe the carkas laie.
The mother came and bare the heade awaie:
When she did burie it, thus gan she saie,
This brought I forth in flame his heirce to haue.
The rest amids ye flood to find a graue.
