They smil’de my folly great herein to see,
Which though I were a dwarfe of stature small,
Durst take the name of captaynes great and tall,
38.
Ne Getae’s murder spared oft to spread,
As is their nature gieuen to taunt and iest:
Wherefore as though Religion had mee lead,
I offred sacrifice with solemne feast
At Alexander’s tombe, where most and least
Of all the youth were present to behold
