Of Phormus his gelded Purse.

Epigram. 88.

Phormus , had in his Purse two Rubies (rich)
When with his Turkesse (damned drab) he lay:
To find which Purse & Stones she sought his brich
While he found sport for which he deere did pay:
For, when she found his Purse, she made no Bones
To geld it, 'ere he found it, of the Stones.
