Thou art as fair and comely as a dog,

Thou art as true and honest as a dog,

Thou art as kind and liberal as a dog,

Thou art as wise and valiant as a dog.

But, Cineas, I have often[480] heard thee tell,

Thou art as like thy father as may be:

'Tis like enough; and, faith, I like it well;

But I am glad thou art not like to me.
