Against Attalus.
Frende Attal, thou declamest well,thou pleadest causes well:
The Histories doe passe thou makst,
thy Uerses doe excell.
Thou makest merie Poems, and
thy Epigrams are fine:
In Grammer, and the course of Starres,
thy knowledge is deuine.
7
and dauncest light withall:
Thy arte doth passe to play on harp,
or tosse the Tennice ball.
When nought thou dost is well, yet all
thou dost thou thinkest right:
Wilt thou I tell what one thou art?
Ardelio, Thraso like.
