OUT OF MARTIALL by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS

First Line: FOURE TEETH THOU HAD'ST THAT RANCK'D IN GOODLY STATE
Last Line: TH'HAST LEFT THE THIRD COUGH NOW NO BUSINESSE HERE.

Foure Teeth thou had'st that ranck'd in goodly state
Kept thy Mouthes Gate.

The first blast of thy cough left two alone,
The second, none.

This last cough AElia, cought out all thy feare,
Th'hast left the third cough now no businesse here.
