Satire 68.
[I will raile at thee Nature; for I finde]
I will raile at thee Nature; for I findeMy bodie's smal, and answers not my minde,
How happs tha'st made me of a Dwarfish stature?
Fie, fie, I tell thee tha'rt too blame Dame Nature.
Why Woman-God, too much th'ast wronged mee,
For by my minde, a Gyant I should bee.
That too't my body thou soe i'll did'st fitt?
Goe corrupt Dame; I tell thee I doe finde
I should haue bene a Souldier by my minde:
I'em proud, stout, & though I'em nothing couetous,
Yet (Souldier-like) I am ambitious.
What's in a Souldiers minde's in mine: then why
To my great minde soe smale a man am J?
