In Cosmum. 17.
Cosmus hath more discoursing in his headThan love, when Pallas issued from his braine;
And still he strives to be deliveréd
Of all his thoughts at once, but all in vaine;
For, as we see at all the play-house doores,
When ended is the play, the dance, and song,
A thousand townes-men, gentlemen and whores,
Porters and serving-men, together throng,—
So thoughts of drinking, thriuing, wenching, warre,
And borrowing money, raging, in his mind,
To issue all at once so forward are,
As none at all can perfect passage find.
