In statuam Bacchi
The timelie birthe that SEMELE did beare,
See heere, in time howe monsterous he grewe:
With drinkinge muche, and dailie bellie cheare,
His eies weare dimme, and fierie was his hue:
His cuppe, still full: his head, with grapes was
croun'de;
Thus time he spent with pipe, and tabret sounde.
Which carpes all those, that love to much the canne,
And dothe describe theire persongae, and theire guise:
For like a beaste, this doth transforme a man,
And makes him speake that moste in secret lies;
Then, shunne the sorte that bragge of drinking
muche,
Seeke other frendes, and joyne not handes with
suche.
