 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 40. Of Colunus his leafe on his shin.
Colonus hath a Leafe vpon his shin,But such a Leafe as ne're will fall nor fade:
It's Morbus Marke, much Matter is therein;
A Rendeuous for Humors hot it's made:
Faire fall the man: for, when the Leafe doth fall,
Hee's like (a pox vpon't) to dye withall.
