Satire 65.

[I graunt thee Allexander thon waft great]

I graunt thee Allexander thon waft great,
And that this crauin world thou once did'st beat:
Naie more, I doe beleeue & thinke 'tis true
That part ath'warlike Gods thou did'st subdue.
Yet what a this? I meane not blaze thy name
But with a brighter light to daske the same.
The cause why thou great Ioues high Throne hast kist,
I pry thee tell whereon it doth consiste?
Thou't saie on Conquestes, which with bloud thou got'st,
And that by these all others Fame thou blott'st.

Come come, thy greatest great is meerely small,
To blowne fac't Blundulus of stature tall,
Hast thou a legg more bigg then anie Oake?
Or thigh whose bone will bide a Canon stroake?
Hast thou a paunch wherein may Armies hidd,
As in the Gretian Horse long since there did?
Come, to be short, vnlesse thou hast all this,
Blundulus is great, and thou but small J wis.
