I haue a sonne,

That talkes of nothing but of Gunnes and Armors,

And sweares hee’ll be a soldier, tis an humor

I would diuert him from, and I am told [125]

That if I minister to him in his drinke

Powder, made of this banquerout Marshalls bones,

Provided that the carcase rot aboue ground

’Twill cure his foolish frensie.

A Gentleman.
