To His Majesties Questors, for his Pension.

Braue Brutus begg'd a Loafe, to saue his Lyfe;
And from the Foes, which hee besieg'd, receiv'd it.
Kynde Enemies forgetting former Stryfe,
Gaue Bread to hungrie Brutus, when hee crav'd it.
I feare no Foe, and so suspect no Wrong;
But seeke my Loafe, for which I served long.
