Epig. XX.

In time of peace, the wisemans counsel is,
To practise martiall feates, and we in this,

The garland to our English Hauns must yeeld:
Who daily traines good fellowes for the field:
The bloud-red lettice tauerne is the plot
Which for a campus Martius Hauns hath got;
The Vintners Iuie bush for these affaires
The ensigne is, to which his men repaires
His Drums and Fifes are Fiddles, Sagbuttes are
His Trumpets, thus begins his desperate warre;
Fiue in a ranke in stead of smaller shot
Play with Tobacco Pipes, whose vapour hot
Heating the head hid all in cloudes of smoke,
Doth with high valour eytherside prouoke;
Then eagerly instead of Cannos roare,
The pottle pots doe thunder on the floare;
Hanus brauely brings them on, pel-mel they close;
Then on the boord the bloud-like licour flowes,
Heere one drops downe an other there doth fall,
Heere one as wounded, leanes against the wall,
But Hauns stil leader-like doth courage crie,
Till they about him all like dead men lie,
And he in his own head now wounded sore,
Is carried from the fight let none therefore
Slight valiant Hauns, more men to death doe yeeld
In Hauns his battailes, then in Mars his field.
