In Dacum.

Amongst the poets Dacus numbered is

Yet could he never make an English rime;

But some prose speeches I have heard of his,

Which have been spoken many an hundred time:

The man that keepes the Elephant hath one,

Wherein he tells the wonders of the beast:

Another Bankes pronounced long agon,

When he his curtailes qualities exprest:

Hee first taught him that keepes the monuments

At Westminster his formall tale to say:

And also him which Puppets represents,

And also him that w^th the Ape doth play:

Though all his poetry be like to this,

Amongst the poets Dacus numbred is.

And again:
