Epig. IX. In Basiliscum.
Svburbian Basiliscus in his lookesBeares signes of death, his eyes are murders bookes.
But what's the cause he lately goes so trim?
He keepes a Trul, or rather she keepes him,
What is his function? or what hath he beene,
A man of armes? no, but of harmes, what then?
Some stile him Captaine for that bloudy deed,
When with his blade he made his friends heart bleed;
But in true valour know, no man is poorer,
He is no Captaine but a turn-bull roarer.
