XXV.
Address to Thallus the Napery-Thief.
Thou bardache Thallus! more than Coney's robe
Soft, or goose-marrow or ear's lowmost lobe,
Or Age's languid yard and cobweb'd part,
Same Thallus greedier than the gale thou art,
5
When the Kite-goddess shows thee Gulls agape,
Return my muffler thou hast dared to rape,
