CLAVDIVS CLAVDIANVS.

Of a Bore, and a Lion.

The cruell Bore and Lyon curst,
together fierce did fight:
The Bore of bristles bragd, in maine
did lye the Lions might.
Mars one, the other Cibel laudes,
fightyng in bloudie broile:
Bothe kept on Moūtaines, bothe wer foild
by Hercules his toyle.

Of a poore man in loue.

Me pinchyng penurie doeth paine,
and Cupid wounds my harte:
I hunger can abide, but not
of loue the bitter smarte.
I liue and lacke: I liue and loue:
want doeth men sore annoye:
But sorer muche the frantick flames,
of Cupid blinded boye.
