15 Two witty answers of Bishop Bonner.

BOnner, that late had Bishop beene of London, Was bid by one, Good morrow Bishop quondam: He with the scoffe, no whit put out of temper, Reply'd incontinent, Adieu knaue Semper. Another in such kinde of scoffing speeches, Would beg his tippet, needs, to line his breeches. Not so (quoth he) but it may be thy hap, To haue a foolish head to line thy cap.
