To a Boaster

Fine lectures Attalus rehearses;
Pleads finely; writes fine tales and verses;
Fine epigrams, fine farces vie
With grammar and astrology;
He finely sings and dances finely;
Plays tennis; fiddles most divinely;
All finely done — and nothing well:
Then, if a man the truth may tell,
This all-accomplisht Punchinello
Is a most busy, idle fellow.
