NONSENCE.

(Ashmole’s Museum, A. 37.)

Like to the thundring tone of unspoke speeches,

Or like a lobster clad in logicke breeches,

Or like the graye-furre of a crimson catt,

Or like the moone-calfe in a slip-shodde hatt:

Even such is hee who never was begotten

Untill his children were both dead and rotten.

Like to the fiery tombstone of a cabbage,
