[923] Epigrammes (1599), iv. 23:

In Ed: Allen.

Rome had her Roscius and her Theater,

Her Terence, Plautus, Ennius and Me[n]ander,

The first to Allen, Phoebus did transfer

The next, Thames Swans receiu’d fore he coulde land her,

Of both more worthy we by Phoebus doome,

Then t’ Allen Roscius yeeld, to London Rome.
