Epig. 29. Against licorish Florella.

Florellas wombe is full (that see I well)
Of Persian Delicates hir Mawe is full:
Such fulnesse of her Mawe, so made her swell:
For, kine well fedd the sooner take the Bull:
Then, sith she long'd for such sweete puffing Bitts,
She (like a Mother) hath these swelling fitts.
