I Niurious death, to make an Emperour mourne
Fleabitten Otho's timelesse Exequies,
Who might haue liu'd, and borne great Conquerors,
And beene the father of most valiant Coltes;
Lament, yee Meedes, whereon this Palfray graz'd,
Ah I strew the streets of Rome with rotten hay (griese
Let Pease, Beanes, Oares, and horse-bread must with
Rust Curry-combes, and Saddles rent in sunder,
Breake stirrop-leathers, g••rthr and bridke, breake,
Fall racke and manger p••ank ••••li••in•• wa••••,
For you shall ne're support 〈…〉〈…〉 his weight ••egure,
You stable Groomes, •••• comb'd •••••••• emp••d mane,
And oft were grac'd to m••••e vp Otho's t••ine,
Sigh, groane, and ••••••••••••, and bowle and cry,
In li•••••••• and ho•••• dung ••••••ting••••••:
Thinke how brane Otho did his •••••••• resplre,
Who with his heeles hath oft strook sparkling fire.
