Yet Other Twelve Wonders of the World: The Souldier
From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)
Social Commentaries
My occupation is, the noble trade of Kings,
The tryall that decides the highest right of things:
Though Mars my master be, I doe not Venus loue,
Nor honour Bacchus oft, nor often sweare by Ioue;
Of speaking of my selfe, I all occasion shunne,
And rather loue to doe, then boast what I haue done.
