Steevens quotes the\nfollowing epigram from Humours Ordinarie, 1607 : —\n\" Aske Humours what a feather he doth weare,\nIt is his humour (by the Lord) he '11 sweare ;\nOr what he doth with such a horse-taile locke,\nOr why upon a whore he spends his stocke, —\nHe hath a humour doth determine so :\nWhy in the stop-throte fashion he doth goe,\nWith scarfe about his necke, hat without band, —\nIt is his humour. Sweet Sir, understand,\nWhat cause his purse is so extreme distrest\nThat oftentimes is scarcely penny-blest ;\nOnly a humour. If you question, why\nHis tongue is ne'er unfumish'd with a lye, —\nIt is his humour too he doth protest :\nOr why with sergeants he is so opprest,\nThat like to ghosts they haunt him ev'rie day ;\nA rascal humour doth refuse to pay.\nObject why bootes and spurres are still in season,\nHis humour answers, humour is his reason.\nIf you perceive his wits in wetting shrunke,\nIt cometh of a humour to be drunke.\nWhen you behold his lookes pale, thin, and poore,\nThe occasion is, his humour and a whoore :\nAnd every thing that he doth undertake.\nIt is a veine, for senseless humour's sake.\"\n149.
