In Cineam. 23.
When Cineas comes amongst his friends in morning,He slyly spies who first his cap doth moue;
Him he salutes, the rest so grimly scorning,
As if for euer they had lost his loue.
I seeing how it doth the humour fit
Of this fond gull to be saluted first,
Catch at my cap, but moue it not a whit:
Which to[o] perceiuing, he seemes for spite to burst.
But Cineas, why expect you more of me,
Than I of you? I am as good a man,
And better too by many a quality,
For vault, and dance, and fence and rime I can:
You keep a whore at your own charge, men tell me,
Indeed friend (Cineas) there in you excell me.
