Against Bouzing Bossus the Woman-Queller

B OSSUS wil howse, and bragges he can ore beare
(Or make them deadly drunke) an hoast of men;
When he is foxt he plaies the bull and beare,
And makes all men and women feare him then:
He plaies the bull with women, or the horse,
(But none but mares loue horse-play) and the beare,
He plaies with men, who (like doggs) feele his force,
That, at the ale-stake baite him not with beere:
Yet one to ten (like Huncks) he them doth spoile,
But ten to one hee's but a beast the while.
