In Maximum [illeg.]

Maximus wouldst be free? tis false, thou'lt not,
But if thou wouldst indeed, hence take the plot;
Thou shalt: if thou can'st choose to sup abroad:
Or if small wine thy thirst can quench or load:
20

If thou can'st scorne poore Cinna's bravery,
And with our homely gown contented bee,
If thy lust may be calmd for half a sowse,
And entring can'st stoop to thy low-roofd house:
If thou this power of self and minde canst bring,
Thou shalt live freer then the Parthian king.
