In Dacum. 30.
Amongst the poets Dacus numbred is,Yet could he neuer make an English rime,
But some prose speeches I haue heard of his,
Which haue been spoken many an hundreth time;
The man that keeps the Elephant hath one,
Wherein he tells the wonders of the beast:
Another Bankes pronouncèd long agon,
When he his curtailes qualities exprest:
He first taught him that that keeps the monuments,
At Westminster, his formall tale to say,
And also him which Puppets represents,
And also him which with the Ape doth play:
Though all his Poetry be like to this,
Amongst the poets Dacus numbred is.
