Epig. XVII. In Neponem.

Nepo that payes his hostesse by post scoring,
And hath spent all to learne the art of roaring,
Would be obseru'd, his qualities are many:
Drinke he can stiffely, bandy oathes with any,
Tel tales of bloud and wounds, roare, fight and stab,
Looke bigge, speake bombast, dally with a drab.
All these good parts and more then these hath he;
Yet wants what he deserues: but Nepo be
A good proficient in them, and outrunne
Thy fellow roarers, as thou hast begunne,
And thou before them al maist haue this hap,
To crowne thy head with Stories corner cap.
