Of Starchus His Stout Standing to It
S TARCHUS will giue the stab ere take the lye,
The lye is loathsome to his manhood's maw;
Twill not goe downe except a man be by;
That makes the same digest meate ne're so raw:
Then if he say thou lyest in thy throte,
He takes it in the throte, and standeth still:
Because men might his foe for lying note:
For lye he doth not (though he stands but ill)
That standeth still when he is said to lye:
But so he stands that so the lye might lye.
