In Brunum. 32.
Brunus, which deems himselfe a faire sweet youthIs thirty nine yeares of age at least;
Yet was he neuer, to confesse the truth,
But a dry starveling when he was at best:
This gull was sicke to shew his night-cap fine,
And his wrought pillow over-spread with lawne;
But hath beene well since his griefe's cause hath line
At Trollup's by Saint Clements Church, in pawne.
