61 Of Caius hurts in the warre.

Caius of late return'd from Flemmish warres,
Of certaine little scratches beares the skarres,
And for that most of them are in his face,
With tant plus beau hee showes them for his grace.


Yet came they not by dint of Pike, or Dart,
But with a pot, a pint, or else a quart.
But he ne're makes his boast, how, and by whom,
He hath receiu'd a greater blow at home.
