Odellet.
[Some will sing the great feates of Armes]
Some will sing the great feates of Armesof Rome: some other the alarmes
of Thebs: and some other of Troye,
And both the siedge, and the efroye.
But what haue I to doo with warriers:
Meddle I then with those that fit:
No, no, I nere hurt any yet:
Nor nere men to come among soldiers.
I care not for the Thracian God:
I am no man that seeketh blood:
But like the olde Poët Annacron,
It pleases mee well to be Biberon.
And thus in a Sellor to quaffe,
So that some Wench be by to lauffe.
And with Bacchus, and Citherais,
I meane to spend all my whole dayes.
