“Adieu! faint-hearted instrument of lust; That falselie hath betrayde our equale trust. Hence-forth no more will I implore thine ayde, Or thee, or man of cowardize upbrayde. My little dilldo shall suply their kinde: A knaue, that moues as light as leaues by winde; That bendeth not, nor fouldeth anie deale, But stands as stiff as he were made of steele; And playes at peacock twixt my leggs right blythe, And doeth my tickling swage with manie a sighe. For, by saint Runnion! he'le refresh me well; And neuer make my tender bellie swell.”

"That spot, concealed by two o'er hanging hills, "Foul sweat and fœtid excrement distils, "Yet frowsy, there the pipe-clayed soldier sports, "And bishops hold episcopalian courts.
