But pedant's motley tongue, soldier's bombast,

Mountebank's drug-tongue, nor the terms of law,

Are strong enough preparatives to draw

Me to hear this, yet I must be content

With his tongue, in his tongue call'd Compliment;

In which he can win widows, and pay scores,

Make men speak treason, cozen subtlest whores,

Outflatter favourites, or outlie either

Jovius or Surius, or both together.

He names me, and comes to me; I whisper, God!
