ix. The Statue of Alcides.
Flora vpon a tymeNaked Alcides statue did behold,
And with delight admird each arme and lime:
Onlie one fault (shee said) could be of it told;
For by right symmetrye
The craftsman had him wrongd,
To such talle iointes a taller club belongd.
The club hung by his thigh:
To which the statuary angrie did replye,
Faire Nymphe, in auncient dayes your holes by farre,
Were not so hudglye vast as now they are.
