In Coccam — Epigram De Monsieur Maynard

Thy cheeks having their Roses shed,
And thy whole Frame through Age become
So loathsome for all use in bed,
That 'tis much fitter for a Tomb;

Cocca, thou should'st not be so vain,
Although thy Eloquence be great,
As to expect it should obtain
That I should doe the filthy Feat:

And that same Engine in your hand
You cherish, court, and flatter so,
Now you have made him bravely stand,
Is not so charitable though,

As in his vigorous youth to be
A crutch to your Antiquity.
