IN QUINTUM. IV.

  • Quintus the dancer useth evermore
  • His feet in measure and in rule to move:
  • Yet on a time he call'd his mistress whore,
  • And thought with that sweet word to win her love.
  • O, had his tongue like to his feet been taught,
  • It never would have utter'd such a thought!
