<2A NEW ENTERL UDE CALLED THERSYTES.- Thys enterlude folowynge>2
<2doth declare howe that the greatest boesters are not the greatest doers>2
<2Thersites commeth in fyrste>2
<2havinge a clubbe uppon his necke>2
<2[Thersites]>2 Have in a ruffler foorth of the greke lande
Called Thersites if ye wyll me knowe.
Abacke, geve me roume! in my way do ye not stand,
For if ye do I wyll soone laye you lowe.
In Homere of my actes ye have red I trow:
Neyther Agamemnon nor Ulysses I spared to checke --
They coulde not bringe me to be at theyr becke.
Of late frome the sege of Troye I retourned
Where all my harnes excepte this clubbe I lost,
In an old . . .
