IN AFRUM. XL.

The smell-feast[547] Afer travels to the Burse

Twice every day, the flying news to hear;

Which, when he hath no money in his purse,

To rich men's tables he doth ever[548] bear.

He tells how Groni[n]gen[549] is taken in[550]

By the brave conduct of illustrious Vere,

And how the Spanish forces Brest would win,

But that they do victorious Norris[551] fear.
