[Seucrus is extreame in elloquence]

Seucrus is extreame in elloquence,
In perfum'd wordes, plung'd ouer head and eares,
He doth create rare phrase, but rarer sence,
Fragments of Latine, all about he beares.
Vnto his Seruingman, alias his Boy,
He vtters speach exceeding quaint and coy.
Deminitiue, and my defectiue slaue,
Reach my corpes couerture immediately:
My pleasures pleasure is, the same to haue,
T'insconce my person from frigiditie.
His man beleeues all's Welch, his Maister spoke,
Till he railes English: Roage go fetch my cloke.
