Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pierce's Supererogation, or a New Praise of the Old Ass: A Preparative to Certain Larger Discourses, Intitled Nash's S. Fame
Zeal shapes an answer to the bloodiest word. If nothing can the booted soldier tame, Nor rhyme, nor prose, nor honesty, nor shame But Swash will still his trumpery advance, I'll lead the gagtooth'd fop a new-found dance. Dear hours were ever cheap to piddling me I knew a glorious and braving knight.
