Of Bathes cure vpon Marcus

THe fame of Bathe is great, and still endures,
That oft it worketh admirable cures.
The barren by their vertue haue conceiu'd,
The weake and sick, haue health & strength receiu'd:
And many Cripples that came thither carried,
Go sound frō thence, when they a while haue tarried.
But yet one cure on Marcus lately showne,
My Muse doth thinke most worthy to be known;
For, while he bathes with Gascoyne wines & Spanish,
Thereby old aches from his lymmes to banish,
Hunts after youthfull company, entycing
Them to the sports of bowling, carding, dycing:
His wantonnesse breeds want, his want enforces
Marcus, by one and one sell all his horses.
Lo, how the Bathe hath searcht his sicknes roote,
He can, nay more, he must goe thence afoote.
