 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 20. Against Thraxus his close pastime.
Thraxus , once kissing a lasciuicus whore,About his waste, her grappling Armes did cast,
As if from her he should depart no more:
Vnlock (quoth he) what mean'st to make me fast?
If thou (to catch a Woodcocke) snare me so,
Ile flutter in thy Cocke-shoote till I go:
But better (Thraxus) then to do so ill,
Still (woodcook-like) to hang but by the Bill.
