Social Commentaries
To Sir CHARLES SHIRLEY, Baronet (THis verse, (whose Author was so neare you bred))
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
THis verse, (whose Author was so neare you bred)
Seemes to runne straight to you for Patronage,
As to a brave Bud, that hath promised
The fruit of Honour in maturer age:
Daigne then these leaves to sweeten with your Springs
Faire growth, and listen whilst a Black-bird sings.
