In Leucam

From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)

Social Commentaries

Leuca, in Presence once, a fart did let;
Some laught a little; she refus'd the place;
And mad with shame, did then her gloue forget,
Which she return'd to fetch with bashfull grace;
And when she would haue said, "I've lost my gloue,"
My fart (qd. she:) which did more laughter moue.
