Souldiers.

— O Souldiers enuie neere ally to Kings Maiesticke humour, carefull iealous thought: Thou, which awak'st vs from ignoble things, A passion nearest to a godhead brought. Onely indefinite: to whom none brings Limit or bound, thou greater then our thought, Who holds thee, holds a power to make him able, Who looses then, becomes most miserable. I. Mark,

None is so poore of sence and eine, To whom a souldier doth not shine. G. Chap.

No elegancie can bewtifie A shamelesse lumpe of gluttonie: His heart sweete Cupids tents reiects, That onely meate and drinke affects. O Flora all mens intellects, Know souldiers power such respects, Meere helpes for need his minde sufficeth, Dull sleepe and surfets he despiseth: Loues trumpe his temples exerciseth, Courage and loue his life compriseth. Idem.
