60. Upon Domitians private Recreation.
Childish Domitian, no Pastime did prise;To the Heroick Turnament, at Flies.
Let Hercules Nemæan Lyons kill.
Or Julius, with admiration fill,
The Worlds dimensions; who, did disarray,
The Two and fiftieth, hot Battalia.
Fierce Meleager, vapours in a Boare.
Let thy Carpophorus, kill Twenty score;
Of short-Neck'd Bears. What should Domitian trie,
Dangers so Evident? A Flie, a Flie.
