Against Gallicus.

When me thine Heire of all thy lands
to make thou diddest swere

[16]

By all the gods, that rule aboue,
and by thyne hory heare,
I thee beleud: for willingly
who will himself forsweare?
And still in hope to speede, with giftes
I did thee feede and chear.
Among my gifts a Boar I sent,
great, fat, a waighty one:
As huge and monstrous mighty big,
as that of Calidone.
Thou straightway didst send for, and feast,
the riche and eak the poore:
All Rome doth belche and surfet yet,
with eatyng of my Bore.
My selfe the giuer (who would thinke?)
the better nought did fare:
I nothyng had, ne ryb ne rumpe
did fall vnto my share.
Frend Gallicus what should I hope
thy land to gaine of thee?
When that no morsell of myne owne,
thou wouldest giue to mee.
