Satire 33.

[Watt me thinkes of all men thou should'st stench desire]

Watt me thinkes of all men thou should'st stench desire,
Since fooles (as wise-men saies) can quickliest quench loues
Why could'st not begg or steale from Green on dramm of witt?
And soe by blurd-endashed lynes haue sent hir it.
Thou might'st er'e this have revel'd in luxurious game,
If soe tha'dst done & quencht thereby loues burningst flame.
But harke thee Watt? He speakes to th'winde, that learnes a foole:
Jle bee noe Tutor, where such dunces comes to th'schoole.
