See (Captaine Martin) he ith' Renounce me Band
That in the middle Region doth stand
Woth' reputation steele! Faith! lets remoue,
Into his Ranke, (if such discourse you Loue)
Hee'l tell of Basilisks, Trenches, Retires:
Of Pallizadoes, Parepets, Frontires:

Of Cnluerins, and Baricadoes too:
What to bee Harquebazerd: to lye in Perdue:
How many men a Souldier ought to slay
For a Lieutenant-ship: or Twelue month Pay.
Hee'l read a Lecture (by his skill exceeding)
O Reputation: when it lyes a Bleeding:
When Tutcht: when Ingaged: when quite Dead,
Or How none may euer Fight once Baffled.
What satisfaction for the Lye: and when
Quarrels are mortall: when Seconds may come in.
Then of the Nether-lands! what Passes there:
What stout Performances: wherein hee'l sweare
As many weekely fall but for the Lye,
As did in hottest time of Sicknesse dye.
Last for his Manhood: how in furie (crost)
For a false reckoning once he slew his Host.
And late in England, (since his comming o're)
Into the Channell flung an Oyster-whoore.

For taking th' wall of him: seeme but to doubt
(The least) of these: straight he will plucke ye out
Handfuls of Reputation: gain'd of those
That dared not his Valour counterpose.
But wronging him: and call'd to account for't
In Satisfaction from their Hands woo'd part.
Which he puts vp, and gloriously puts forth
In Ordinaries to proclaime his worth,
Thinking to get (what common sence denyes)
Credit: by Pocketting vp Iniuryes.
Then Learne of him, he'l teach you how yee might
Be counted Valiant, and neuer Fight.
