OF A GULL. II.
- Oft in my laughing rhymes I name a gull;
- But this new term will many questions breed;
- Therefore at first I will express at full,
- Who is a true and perfect gull indeed.
- A gull is he who fears a velvet gown,
- And, when a wench is brave, dares not speak to her;
- A gull is he which traverseth the town,
- And is for marriage known a common wooer;
- A gull is he which, while he proudly wears
- A silver-hilted rapier by his side,
10 - Endures the lie and knocks about the ears,
- Whilst in his sheath his sleeping sword doth bide;
- A gull is he which wears good handsome clothes,
- And stands in presence stroking up his hair,
- And fills up his unperfect speech with oaths,
- But speaks not one wise word throughout the year.
- But, to define a gull in terms precise,—
- A gull is he which seems and is not wise.
- Friend Candidus, thou often doost demaund
- What humours men by gulling understand
- Our English Martiall hath full pleasantly
- In his close nips describde a gull to thee
- I'le follow him, and set downe my conceit
- What a gull is—oh, word of much receit'
- He is a gull whose indiscretion
- Cracks his purse-strings to be in fashion,
- He is a gull who is long in taking roote
- In barraine soyle where can be but small fruite;
- He is a gull who runnes himselfe in debt
- For twelue dayes' wonder, hoping so to get,
- He is a gull whose conscience is a block,
- Not to take interest, but wastes his stock;
- He is a gull who cannot haue a whore,
- But brags how much he spends upon her score,
- He is a gull that for commoditie
- Payes tenne times ten, and sell the same for three,
- He is a gull who, passing nicall,
- Peiseth each word to be rhetoricall;
- And, to conclude, who selfe-conceitedly
- Thinks al men guls, ther's none more gull then he.'
—Dyce.
