Social Commentaries
To the same (Knighthood's come on thee (as a man should throw)
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Knighthood's come on thee (as a man should throw
Gold on a dunghill,) and thy Lady so
Sutes with thy gredtnes, that her gowne will be
In stead of coat of armes, and honour thee.
