Epigram. 20. In Cosmum.
Aske Cosmus why he is a Gentleman,Hee tels what seruices his sire hath seene,
As when victorious Henry Bolleine wanne,
And when King Phillip tooke S. Quintius in:
His Vnkle was at th'rising in the North,
And did at Tilbery good reckoning cary;
Aske of himselfe he can bring nothing forth,
But thinkes their deeds, are his, hereditary?
And say he be a Gentleman therefore
Hee is but like the Asse that Isis bore;
They honour got hee-vnder-goes their fame,
And bearing thus what others brought to passe,
Hee's but his Fathers and his Vnkles Asse.
