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
