Epigr. 17 In S. Q. C. &c.
SExtus and Quintus, Caius, and the rest,
Looke for their commendations with the best.
Quintus hath a large house, which may containe,
Three Lords, with roome to spare, & al their traine;
Sextus hath corne and all prouision meete,
To vittaile, if need should require a fleete.
Caius by th'yeare a thousand pounds may spend,
Dacus may loane three thousand to his friend.
How could I praise these, lesse I vnderstood,
The future tense of the potentiall moode?
