Satire 81.
[Talke you with Poet-Asse sitting in's seate]
Talke you with Poet-Asse sitting in's seate,You'le heare him ex'lent, Epigrames repeate,
Demaund him whose they bee, they runn soe fine,
Yet let a well-read Poet heare the vaine,
Hee'lle finde they came out of a Bastardes braine.
Dust heare me Poet-asse? I'le prophysee,
That when th'art mari'd thou't a Cockould bee:
Thou fath'rest now things got by other men,
What wilt thou doe when thou art mari'd then?
I pry thee good Iack-Dawe giue each berd's owne,
That for a plaine Iack-Dawe thou maist be knowne.
