Hotsp.

Marry, and I am glad of it with all my heart,

I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew,

Then one of these same Meeter Ballad‑mongers:

I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd,

Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle‑tree,

And that would set my teeth nothing an edge,

Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie;

'Tis like the forc't gate of a shuffling Nagge.
