To Brainhardy

XVI.
 ? TO BRAINHARDY.
  
  HARDY, thy brain is valiant, 'tis confest,
 Thou more ; That with it every day dar'st jest
 Thy self into fresh brawls : when, call'd upon,
 Scarce thy week's swearing brings thee off, of one.
 So in short time, thou art in arrearage grown
 Some hundred quarrels, yet dost thou fight none ;
 Nor need'st thou : for those few, by oath releast,
 Make good what thou dar'st do in all the rest.
 Keep thy self there, and think thy valor right ;
 He that dares damn himself, dares more than fight.
