IN LEUCAM. XIV.1

  • Leuca in presence once a fart did let:
  • Some laugh'd a little; she forsook the place,
  • And, mad with shame, did eke her glove forget,
  • Which she return'd to fetch with bashful grace;
  • And when she would have said “this is2 my glove,”
  • “My fart,” quod she; which did more laughter move.
