Epig. VII. In Gurmundum.
The fat Gurmundo, great Idolater,His belley 'fore his God doth far prefer,
His deare lou'd Idol is his stomack, that
In priuate eates vp so much flesh and fat,
And his oblation common at that shrine
Is a fat Capon and a cup of wine,
Boyes laugh to see him wallow in the street
His Capon-fatted panch ouer his feet
Hanges Cisterne like, and as 'tis said he sweares,
He hath not seene the cocke this many yeares;
Then haplesse thou that art Gurmundoes hen,
And all that suffer vnder such fat men.
